Latest teen slang/fads

[MNOverinvestor]

I've got to come up with a round for a lockdown quiz tonight on latest kid/teen and post-teen slang or fads (it's meant to baffle out of touch parents)...

So I'll be asking what is a Squishmallow in the hope they think it's a cult drug when it's actually a toy of dubious taste... And asking what a lean is (a US trend of vodka with cough medicine). Any others very gratefully received... thank you (why did I ever agree etc etc)

The kids say "super-dope" meaning jolly good
Also they enjoy "flexing" - showing off their wealth and status
Superfans they call "Stans"

I have no idea why I know this.

But I'm very pleased you do... thank you...

Noob 😂

Pog/poggers basically when something amazing/good happens in a game or now just in real life too.

They often have a 'fresh trim' meaning a good haircut which usually includes a fade.

Gassed - very excited

Lit - under the influence

Hench- means muscley and sexy
Molly- ecstasy
Beg- “stop being a beg” someone a bit sad and desperate

Oh, those are brilliant. And poignant - I'm clearly having to be a bit of a beg tonight...

Urban dictionary will be your friend

I think a scrape is also someone who is a bit sad and desperate.

“Wagwan” is something we get a lot. i think it is patois for wha g’wan /what’s going on. But it really just means hi, especially when eg coming in after school.

Roadman or wasteman means you're rubbish
Drill - hard-core rap favoured by gangs and wannabes
Simp - someone with no boundaries
Finessing - on the rob

Well my 15 yo sibling keeps talking about getting new clothes at christmas "drip" fresh clothing/style.

Jarring- annoying.

"Man said" when mocking someone so "man said its chilly take a coat 🙄" why dont they want to wear coats????

No cap = no lie.

What's the tea sis/spill the tea/who's got the tea, anything involving tea = gossip.

Youngers - people younger than you
Olders - people older than you
Sesh - party
Mandem - your crew, men
Trim - haircut
Treads - trainers
Doggo- dog

P’s - money

Paigon
Wasteman

@TawnyPippit - I heard Wagwan this week, and didn’t know if I was being insulted or not!

Everyone is called a “nonce“

When you respond to something in unexpected way, it’s a “weird flex, but ok”

Everything is “a mood”, seeing a cat asleep in the sunshine, someone walking in the rain: or whatever “that’s such a mood”

And everyone says they are obsessed with something if they vaguely like it (Omg I am obsessed with your hair!”)

Loving these!
I teach teens an occasionally I slip on a teen wire and go mental with excitement 😀😀😀😀

Throwing ‘shade’ - a subtle put down. Mumsnet threw shade at Netmums .

@GeidiPrimes

I have no idea why I know this.

Stans is from the Eminiem song, about a stalker fan who winds up killing his girlfriend. Surprised they still use that one as its years old.

Sorry about the typos -occasionally I slip in a teen word and they go wild with excitement 😀😀

@SomelikeitHoth

Noob 😂

What does noob mean please my 7 year olds was all upset about someone calling her a noob but couldn't explain what it was

@nancybotwinbloom a noob is another way of saying newbie or someone who is inexperienced at something or not knowledgeable.

Another one ‘extra’ - OP is so extra meaning, she is sooooo over the top, a diva etc

Noon =newbie /inexperienced at something

Poggers is driving me mad at the moment thanks to ds
Bruh and bruh moment are also used to express disappointment
