Let me know if I missed any by writing in the comments 😊
Literally: Still being used to describe anything that isn’t
literal.
Extra: A contradictory word that calls something or somebody
over-the-top, while the use of the word in the first place ends up being extra.
Ignorant: Liberal word for anyone who has a different
viewpoint from you.
Snowflake: Republican word for anyone who has a different
viewpoint than you.
Spill the tea: An adorably old-fashioned way of telling
someone to give you the news or the gossip.
Sus: A word for monks who are only allowed to speak five
syllables a year and don’t want to say the full word “suspect”.
Get Educated: A phrase used by people who never finished school,
used on PH.D graduates and professionals because they didn’t agree with them on
something they read on the internet.
Arrogant: Another word for someone who doesn’t have the same
viewpoint as your mom.
Lit: Something exciting or cool, but is definitely not
intoxicated, which was the original meaning of the slang word for the past
century. See also: A word that already existed but was turned into slang, which
became slang that was turned into new slang. Slang slang.
Slang Slang: A word I just made up.
Racial slurs: Evil words used by people who are evidence
against the theory of evolution.
Ghosting: When mean people refuse to respond to phone calls
and text messages to their last date because they can’t handle confrontation.
Triggered: To explain to people that you can’t handle the
realities of life.
All Mood/Big Mood: When people are trying to sound extra so
they add additional words to the word “mood” without changing the meaning at
all.
Fake News: When Trump supporters don’t like news programs
calling out the president for his policies, and when news programs don’t
actually report the truth. Also used any time you don’t enjoy what someone
says. Like, “It looks like it’s raining outside.” “What? Fake news!”
Femi Nazi: Used to describe pretty much any woman with an
opinion.
Feminism: A word that can only be used if you promise to use
it incorrectly.
Woke: A word that was once powerful that has now been
watered down to drivel.
Thanks Obama: A phrase dating back to when Obama was
president and blamed for everything bad that happened to a person throughout
their day. Some of us millennials like to use it just to remind ourselves we’re
getting old.
Basic: Use this word to insult another person when you want
everyone to know how much of a jerk you are without having to show them
multiple examples of it.
Shook: Like triggered, but a happy or surprised version.
Girl Boss: When women try to show female empowerment by
calling another woman a girl boss, and accidentally end up promoting gender
inequality because people don’t say male boss, so why do we need to
say girl boss?
Mansplaining: Often misused to describe any man who simply
has an opinion about anything. The original definition was used to define a very
real problem when men explain things to women that they already know,
especially in the workplace. Now used with angry devil emojis to come after anything
male.
Anti-vaxxers: Often surrounded by words of befuddlement of
why these people still exist in 2019.
Slay: When you want to compliment someone for being strong,
so you use a word that means to murder someone.
Keyboard Warriors: Possibly the best slang of the year, it’s
used to describe people who fight with everyone on the internet and purposely
incite them with controversial opinions, from the safety of their parent’s
basement. Statistically proven to be incapable of engaging in confrontation in
actual, real-life scenarios.
Keyboard Activists: A slang term I think I just made up to
describe someone similar to a keyboard warrior, but is someone who supports
every social cause under the sun online. They will come after people with cyber
pitchforks, but can never make it to the town council meeting to promote actual
change. I am a partial keyboard activist.
Me: Someone who tells it like it is and offends a lot of
people.
I literally can’t believe you read this entire post. I’m
sure you think I’m basic, but I think this list was pretty lit. Thanks Obama.
