In this episode of Habits and Hustle, we go through a list of slang terms used by Gen Z in every day life and on social media. We go through what these slang terms mean, how to use them in a sentence, and where they originate from.
What we discuss:
01:17 : What does “drip” mean?
02:25 : What does “extra” mean?
03:31 : What does “it is giving” means?
05:51 : What does “rizz” mean?
06:44 : What does “ touch grass” mean?
07:17 : What are the top 10 slang words?

Takeaways:
- Many of the slang words young people are using these days are borrowed from other languages, other cultures, and other countries. Examples include British terms such as “lads” as a synonym to men and “ savage” from Black culture to describe someone who is not holding back.
- Slang words come in and out of style every few months. This cycle is further sped-up due to the speed at which social media distributes the new terms, making adoption of these terms a lot faster.
