Yes to most of the above (ship, sus, aesthetic, extra). Never heard brick and fire haven’t heard from my kids.

Also refer the themselves, individually, as we.

Daughter will answer “do you like this?” With “oh, yes. We do!”

No idea what the equivalent of “cool” is right now.

I'm aware of no cap, but I can't figure out how to use it

"Why you putting them under glass?" When I called out behavior of a pair of teens.

"low-key like" - it's okay - not too bad

“Blow me” doesn’t mean inviting someone to blow. More of an insult.

The youngsters say things are "tight" or "the bomb" when it's really good. They are skeptical of "ho's" (promiscuous women), and "oh for real?" is an exclamation of surprise. You may here them talking about their "dawgs" (friends), or the "beyotches" (women they don't like). "Broke ass" is an insult they like to use. You may also here them say something like "that sh*t is DOPE" which also means really good. Okay you're up to date on lingo

Yes, thanks for the time machine trip back to college in the 90s for me. Those are some phat memories.

A Simp- is someone who does way too much for someone they like (we might have said “whipped” years ago). Bussin- means really good. Pressed means really irritated, often used in the negative “I’m not pressed about it.”

My daughter and I had this conversation the other day. No cap? Apparently means "really? for sure? you aren't bs-ing?"

This isn't new


This did make me laugh. I first heard ship used this way in Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom. That ain’t recent.


Same! I remember it from even older X-Files fandom. But I think it’s gone mainstream since our day.

a "pick-me" girl/person is someone who tries too hard to be liked.
