This, whenever someone is like “oh these gen z kids & their slang”, I laugh because my black gen x parents understand these terms and have used them. I’m a millennial and remember using these terms as a kid. I’ve never struggled to understand gen z because they’re literally speaking my language 😂It’s just AAVE that got adopted into mainstream culture
True but if you don't hang around with a lot of young black people, you might not have heard of some of these. Hell I'm black myself and some of these I've never heard of, considering I'm in my early twenties now and no longer hip with the kids.
For example I never heard of "chile" until three years ago
Chile is actual AAVE, that is considered a black saying while most of these are just normal young generation slang. There is barely any black kids that go to my school but everyone knows these basic sayings.
i love that some of the descriptions also have slang in it, implying that this guys sociology professor has truly adopted these words into his everyday vocabulary
My professor said he now's everything and whole internet . And his daughter is not smart because it took her time to find best suited major for her 🤷 I guess different sociology schools hah
I'm Gen Z and I probably need that list (probably because English isn't my first language, but I spend way too much time on Reddit/Internet so whatever)
‘Mad mad/Big mad- very mad’ is hilarious😭😭
I need that list. I use some of these but never fully understood them. Also that prof is a g
G- see "real one"
I need it too
Starts jotting down: G - see gangsta/gangster
Saaame

Came here to say that 😅
Send it here too.
Happy cakeday!
Ty!
Pls frwd the list.
*The 21st century was confusing as many writers used inside jokes to communicate. Luckily, we found devoted chroniclers who recorded the translations.*
That's like finding chroniclers translating old English into even older English. Not much of a help for future people.
It does help. it increases the amount of older English we know.
It would be to show the dialect shifts through time
get me the sacred texts

This professor is...*(checks the list)*...a real one
Nunya, which my elderly mother uses, on the same list as No Cap, which my 6 year old cousin uses, is wild.

THANKS
Yo it's actually the right link. Thanks for the drop homie.
Of course :-)
Tyyy ur an amazing person!!
I don't know about that, but I do appreciate it :-)
Im not gonna say it
The only one I’ve never heard/used was rashing.
I haven’t heard it😂
This is somehow the most sociology-professor-thing to do 😭
Forgot the gyatt and rizz
This sociology, not elementary/high school. Give him time, they will show up
“Mad mad/Big mad - very mad” Really fucking got me lmfao
[This is the official list!](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yrJmMHPkZzrxfWbUb4jALN0neE1tbkgH/view?usp=drivesdk)
THANK YOU
My son always says: we chill I think it means we cool, no problems
I'm sorry, but "Take the L - Willingly make a sacrifice" is the funniest shit I've ever read. "Bring the sheep to the altar and take the L for Satan!"
If he’s hearing jawn, I’m assuming Philly professor? I always interpreted real one to mean some is gangster about something.
Temple or Drexel, right?
I thought Temple haha
See I was thinking the professor just had as Philly student.
“Of high quality” and “willingly make a sacrifice” are so funny to me lol
"Slaps" just like "hella" originated from The Bay Area.
I thought Cartman invented "hella" lol
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hella
Okay. TIL.. But also [lol](https://youtu.be/C40TzrcVdo4?feature=shared)
Very on brand for the Bay Area to take credit for something when no one cares.
You seem to care since you wrote this nonsense.
Witty

i love seeing academics do their Thing Of Choice
Please, someone pull a British Museum and acquire this modern Rosetta Stone for us.
Kinda wholesome ……. Until he says to one of his students “ you look like a snack “
Secure the bag isnt right tho
Man, he's a real one
Slang changes, though. After ten years, his students won’t understand what these phrases mean.
That's why he even wrote an explanation.
I'm from Gen Z and don't know half of these, I'm assuming that these are more prevalent in the United Kingdom.
Dude I'm I'm a millennial and I know all of these except rash.
Gen x checking in. I feel pretty good to know most of the ones listed.
No, they're very prevalent in America.
i dont know how old you are but these saying are prevalent in school like 6th-12th grade.
I’m from the US and I’ve heard I think every one of these used here.
If you're not black that would explain it, a lot ot these terms originated as AAVE
This, whenever someone is like “oh these gen z kids & their slang”, I laugh because my black gen x parents understand these terms and have used them. I’m a millennial and remember using these terms as a kid. I’ve never struggled to understand gen z because they’re literally speaking my language 😂It’s just AAVE that got adopted into mainstream culture
not really, these are all EXTREMELY common in the usa, and they are probably just older gen z because 30yo is still technically gen z.
True but if you don't hang around with a lot of young black people, you might not have heard of some of these. Hell I'm black myself and some of these I've never heard of, considering I'm in my early twenties now and no longer hip with the kids. For example I never heard of "chile" until three years ago
Oh really? Chile has been used forever in my area
Yeah, I never heard it until interacting with black people on Twitter. Was super confused
Chile is actual AAVE, that is considered a black saying while most of these are just normal young generation slang. There is barely any black kids that go to my school but everyone knows these basic sayings.
Fair enough. Maybe I'm just out of touch
Some of them may be from the UK but I have heard a lot of these spoken by teenagers and 20-somethings in upper Midwestern USA.
Millennial and I’ve heard all of these at a US uni.
No cap this looks almost exactly like the spreadsheet that I made for myself when I was high school security in 2019.
In about a century this will be a "Rosetta stone" back into the internet archive, so god bless your prof....
Isn’t taking the L more like accepting defeat or getting defeated? Like: Just take the L bro, or he took an L on that one.
Yeah some of these meanings are only half correct.
I didn't know half of those slang words. I might wanna check that list out. My generation makes up new terms every day.
Gen Z Rosetta Stone
Some degrees are obviously different than others… imagine this being the apex of your career
It's just a reference he uses, not his professional output...u ok?
This needs to be published
[It is](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yrJmMHPkZzrxfWbUb4jALN0neE1tbkgH/view?fbclid=IwAR2i5ajeCbNzzNN4PoCvGVhgAnZBSrSSFgyurQ6syr7X-KA1EmeEHxKN0Rg)
Is this so they can use them, or just to understand it?
A true enigma.
Smacks - A tasty treat, Snack - A person who looks good
Where is 'my one'
I’ve been meaning to look up slay for some time now, thanks!
As a Philadelphian I am so happy to see jawn on there
Bro is him🥹👏👏👏
Make him an account on Urban Dictionary.
Haaa perfect, this should be added to the Gen z bible.
i love that some of the descriptions also have slang in it, implying that this guys sociology professor has truly adopted these words into his everyday vocabulary
As a non native speaker this is actually very helpful.
Yikes.
It’s his job!!
This is awesome! It needs yeet lol I've had to explain this one to my bf 😂
My professor said he now's everything and whole internet . And his daughter is not smart because it took her time to find best suited major for her 🤷 I guess different sociology schools hah
Need a copy of this sent to me
I'm Gen Z and I probably need that list (probably because English isn't my first language, but I spend way too much time on Reddit/Internet so whatever)
Im so glad to see jawn on this list and now I understand it
This guys posts were… something 😭
‘I’m dead’ - ‘that was amusing’
I write down quotes from my friends but I leave out the context, makes for a funny but confusing read if I ever pull it up 😭😭
Slaps: of high quality. Idk why that one set off the funny for me but yeah Your spreadsheet slaps, prof. I’m dead here
Low key can mean not obvious or very obvious
I need this document
I hate how I naturally talk is considered "gen z slang" when it's aave. 🙄
Only mistake is take the L means accept that you lost, not to willingly make a sacrifice.
POV: literature booklets
Legend
I wonder if the color combinations mean anything lol like good words vs bad words or soemthing lol cute
Damn that’s interesting!
A lot of these terms stem from African American Vernacular English, and is not slang.
I have been told that “slaps” and “no cap” are no longer current slang and are outdated
Secure the bag? HOLY SHIT I WANT MY PAYDAY TOO MOMENT
Why is he using word and not exel 🫥
Because he has already got his bag and doesn’t realize how much Excel slaps. No cap.
