Gen Z slang can sometimes be hard to understand and difficult to wrap your head around. So let’s get into some interesting Gen Z slang. Some of the worst slang language that does not make sense includes: Simp, Smol, Chuegy, and “Take several seats.” Whoever came up with these should have ended before they even started. Let’s dive more into what each slang means.
Simp: a word heard all over Tik Tok. This specific word can irritate some people, because it stands for someone that goes above and beyond for their crush. Smol is something or someone that is small and, in most cases, found adorable. According to Parade, “Take several seats” means that someone is really getting on another person's nerves, and they might be asked to “Take several seats.” These words are used mainly on Tik Tok and are slowly being brought out into the world outside of social media.
According to Your Dictionary, slang is an informal language with widespread usage. Slang shows the attitude of a group or subculture that uses them. Slang is an abbreviation of a word. Slang is spoken and written; they are not for advertising slogans, but they can be used outside of the advertising field. Slang has to be understood by the speaker and listener. Over time, slang can be used on a regular basis. Slang is not used by all but used by many and continues to get used more each day.
Gen-Z slang can be easy to understand, but also hard to comprehend if someone does not know the whole meaning. There is a ton of slang out there. Everyone in every generation uses slang, whether they know it or not. Most of what Gen-Z says as slang will not stick around, so people might not need to keep up with the newest slang.
