“USA Today” posted a list of slang words teenagers use, and what they mean. You probably know a few of them.
Like, “throwing shade” is when you insult someone or make fun of them. But here are eight you might not know . . .
1. “Lit.” It doesn’t mean you’re drunk or wasted anymore. It means something’s cool. Like, “That party was lit.”
2. “Turnt.” It can mean two things. You’re either really hyped about something, or you’re ON something. Sometimes it’s used like a synonym for “effed up.”
3. “Clap back.” It’s when you respond with a clever comeback. Like, “He kept teasing me, but he wasn’t expecting me to clap back.”
4. “Thirsty.” It means you’re desperate, especially when it comes to dating.
5. “Fire.” Kids use it as an adjective now. It basically means something’s hot. Like, “That new song is straight fire.”
6. “Woke.” It’s like the opposite of being ignorant. If you’re “woke,” it means you’re smart and pay attention.
7. “ AF” – This is a bit of a weird one, since it’s never used on its own, but instead adds emphasis to something else. It’s short for “as f**k”, but it’s a cleaner way of saying it, and is a lot less likely to get a teen a scolding by their evil, evil parents
8. “Sus.” It’s short for suspicious or suspect. Like, “I’m not surprised he lied to you. I told you he was sus.”
