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?

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
