This Professor's Alphabetized List Of Hip Slang Terms He's Learned From Students Is Just Hilariously Pure

It's hard to keep up with slang.

Those of us who are entering the workforce were teenagers back when "cool" was still pretty new. So every once in awhile, we hear a word like "stan," and we go, "heh?"


An unnamed sociology professor decided to start taking inventory on the new slang he was hearing:


Some highlights include: "periodt: see, 'facts'"

"Pull up/come through: an invitation"

"High Key: Very obvious"

"nunya: None of your [business]".




Of course everybody has their own opinions of which word/interpretation is the best:





The Generation Z lexicon is already far more diverse than the millennial lexicon.

Millennial slang includes "Netflix and Chill" and "sorry not sorry" and "extra."

Gen Z includes "yeet," "big mad," and "it really do be like that sometimes."

We millennials sound so old.






And since slang is a sociological study, it makes sense that this particular professor would keep this list.







We'd pay for a complete edition of the lexicon of Gen Z slang. Would you?

Woman Sparks Debate After Accusing Frontier Airlines Of Kicking Her Off Flight For Being Deaf

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up. Though she could still speak and hear, it would become increasingly difficult for her to hear, especially when there were competing noises in the area.

Former GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
