After being married for awhile, you may suddenly arrive on the single scene really confused about the latest lingo in everyday conversation. It's time to get caught up on all this verbiage meant to describe your new-hip-self and lifestyle. You may never think of Netflix® and dating the same way again!
Perhaps you'll reject such rhetoric initially; but, eventually you'll either succumb to the new millennial inspired verbiage or you may get Cheyboyganed when someone throws shade, tells you you're acting salty or to sip tea.
What the h*ll does it all mean anyway?
Slang. Urban language. Jargon. Lingo.
All of these terms can be used to describe the new additions to our traditional language. Some of this new informal language has made it's way into traditional dictionaries to notably change language as we know it. There are also online dictionaries like www.urbandictionary.com that provide the meanings to most jargon as well.
This verbiage is commonly used in texts, social media posts and casual conversing. It's used by varied demographics and for various reasons. It's typically not ideal for professional communications.
It's important to understand what the lingo means so that it's used appropriately and understood during casual conversations.
Teenagers and young adults use this urban slang a lot. Knowing this stuff can be really helpful when you have kids and young adults living at home using this foreign language.
Maybe looking super cool to our kids is one reason many of us adults have begun to understand and use this jargon, especially for texting and chatting. Some of the language may be new to you, but already overused, which lessens it's coolness. There's really no way of knowing since, like technology, these new terms can come on the scene hot and quickly fizzle. However, most words and phrases are still used and it's helpful to understand them when sent or said to you. Let's get started!
