Talking Trends: Teen Slang
The definition of just a few of the odd words that teens are using nowadays.
This week on “Talking Trends” we are going into an unknown world: a teenager’s brain. Teens like myself are very creative when it comes to making up new words to say. Here are just a few examples.
“Oof”
Meaning a difficult or an unfortunate situation.
Example:
Person 1- I have four tests today.
Person 2- OOF
“Bet”
This is another word for the phrase “I dare you.”
Example:
Person 1- I could eat three cakes right now.
Person 2- BET
“Lowkey”
Teens say this when they have something that they want to keep between a few people or may not want others to know about.
Example:
“Lowkey, I love this song.”
“Gucci”
Another word for “good.”
Example:
Person 1- I am so sorry
Person 2- It’s all Gucci
“Spicy”
This is another word for sassy.
Example:
“Wow, she’s being really spicy today.”
“Skurt”
To get out of a situation quickly.
Example:
Person 1- Stacy was being so rude earlier
Person 2- I’m gonna skurt out of this
“v”
A shortened version of the word “very.”
Example:
“I’m v angry right now.”
