I have been bombarded with terms or alphabets in social media as well as in messaging Apps for quite some time now. At first, I tried to learn some of them but I can't keep up with them anymore :( Everyday, I read or hear new ones! I'm hard-pressed to find its meaning, else I won't understand what my Teenies are talking about. And complicating matters, my comprehension on the growing world of millennials, Gen-Zs, etc., is dramatically going down.
To help myself, I am starting this list. With a great help from my daughter and Google, I will be able to comprehend these slang terms. By knowing their meaning, I might be able to 'slay' my next conversation (finger crossed)! I tried starting conversation using some of these terms and I was shocked to learn that reading is a different matter from saying them... So I'll stick to just understanding them first and not rush into slang conversation!
* I'll be editing this Post as I discover new word/s to add. |
