You’re so slay. You got drip, bro.

What do yours say?? 😆

I get 'serving' quite a lot 😂

But like whyyy???

The worst of the worst is our young kids trying to be cool by using American slang. I mean, how daft is a young Brit calling the Police 'the Feds', for God's Sake? 😂

Can I have a snack
What snacks do we have
Whats for dinner
When is dinner
Can you get some (insert snack item hear)

I'm pretty sure half of all communications are about food...

As well as drip, mine say 'fit' to refer to clothes/outfit/style - as in "cool fit, bruh" or "check out his fit"

Also get "it's not that deep"

Stepping - referring to going for a walk/hanging around (I think) "we stepping today bruh?"

Briefly they were referring to aura in a similar way to rizz. So if you did something very cool you would have infinite aura and if you did something embarrassing you'd lose aura.

My 13yo says "games gone" for when something bad happens and "games back" when something gets better/something good happens. So when I managed to get Oasis tickets recently the game was so back (and I expect I briefly had infinite aura, although he didn't explicitly say this, but I'm sure I did 😁).

I haven’t seen anyone mention ‘dry’ yet, as in ‘his texts are a bit dry’ meaning you’re texting a boy and he’s replying with one word answers, therefore most likely not interested.

We also get a lot of bro and bruh in our house, like they’re some South London gangsters, not middle class white girls 😆

Have you seen this?

Oh yes, this all day. In the same vain, calling someone a Karen - this is meaningless in the UK and the kids most likely don’t know anyone called Karen.

Think it's just waiting moderation. It's a youtube link. If you search Professor Speaking Gen Alpha Slang you'll find it.

Calm, bro

Saying people 'eat' ... One of her teachers eats daily and is always discussed on the way home. Also means stylish, apparently 😂 "Miss ate today, her fit was serving"

Using 'finna' instead of 'gonna', as in 'I'm low-key finna get a job'

skibidy toilet?
and skibidy thrown in front of many other words.

my daughter chooses to speak at 2x pace, it’s like watching tic tok on speed!

also aura, drip, bruh, k….

Those are both so weird!! Can’t wait to use them later 🤣

F is next to I and g is next to o on a keyboard, so I wonder if mistyping has anything to do with the finna/gonna thing?

Slay
Rizz
Skibbidy (sp?) - often followed by ‘Rizz’
Preppy (but that one less so now)

12 yo DD in south east. Decidedly unhip (and not on any social media or YouTube, so this is all from school/ mates)

No, finna is short for 'fixing to' in the same way gonna is short for 'going to'. Weirdly although 'fixing to' sounds very American to my ears, finna seems more multi-cultural... Probably because I've heard it so often!

slay is cooked gs

glazin (sycophancy)
tuff (cool)
in the big 25 (now)
no cap/cap (though suspect this has now been relegated to ironic use)
no diddy (stop that)

Mind you, my Mrs is called Karen...😆
