Top Ten Things People Say Now that Wouldn't Have Made Sense Years Ago

The Top Ten
1 Selfie!

Imagine going up to somebody with a polaroid and saying,"SELFIE WE LOOK so HAWT"... I just laugh at the thought.

Imagine how awkward that would be.

2 Hashtag

That would be SUPER awkward if someone say that

Don't you mean... POUND?

3 bae

It means "baby", but it's also apparently the Danish word for "poop". I really need to tell people at my school this.

I had to do a Google search for the detention of this word. People don't make sense these days.

You know you're out of it when you have to Google "what is bae? "

I have no shame

4 OTP/I ship it

LOL that's all my classmates ever say. When we study two important political partners, "I ship it". Studying Shakespeare, ", Viola and Olivia is my new OTP! ", people even ship elements of the periodic table in my class... maybe its gone too far.

This is where everyday media starts to get creepy...

5 YOLO

I'm a millennial but I don't even know what this word means or most of the other words on this list. In fact I don't know why the hell my generation has the word "millennial" Oh and to those calling me narcissistic, why don't you look in the mirror.

You know, I take YOLO as a sign that since you only live once, make the most of it instead of flinging yourselves into something potentially deadly.

Why do people like to say stupid words like this nowadays?

Huh, kid with the weird white brick, what is a YOLO?

6 On Fleek

Well, to be honest. I had to search up "modern slang" to make this list. So I don't really know either...

It means on point Positron. (And yes, I had to search its definition. )

Just say on point then. This is a waste of time.

Most people don't understand now

7 Ratchet

My point exactly. I agree with PositronWildhawk. If anyone decides to say the slang version of ratchet, I will hit them with one with absolutely no regrets.

The real definition for ratchet is a mechanical device. People take sophisticated words and transform them into slang terms.

To me, a ratchet is a mechanical device with a gear and a pawl.

Ratchet: Ugly Women and presumptuous

8 Twerk

Growing increasingly ashamed of modern slang as this list goes on...

9 Swag
10 Dat ___ Doe

I don't say it like that or write it like that. I use it as a means to help my friends understand a reference or joke that I know they get.

I don't know the meaning of half the words on this list.

My guy friend said that. a girl had laughed crazily and he saie, 'that LAUGH doe! '

That face doe

11 Bruh
12 Hella Gay
13 Dude
14 21

Twenty-one, darling. That is how many years it is after the year 1900.

15 Turnt

If I knew what it was, I would have an accurate judgement.

16 Middle Finger
17 dab
18 Dat Boi
19 Damn Daniel

Oh, did Daniel make a worthless nickname again? That's not how we do it here on the farm.
