Following all the latest trends can feel close to impossible; because it probably is. With all sorts of new technology, fashion crazes, and artists, among other things, coming to light every day, it’s not easy to be up to date with everything.
Language is no exception. As the youth add more and more idioms and slang to their vocabulary, it often leaves the rest somewhat confused, which is especially evident when different generations meet.
Two representatives of different generations have recently gone viral on TikTok, when producer and songwriter Damon Sharpe uploaded a couple of videos of his daughter teaching him Gen A slang. The duo racked up millions of views, and likely taught quite a few people some slang terms they haven’t heard before. Scroll down to find both the terms and the videos below and see how much catching up you need to do.
