Every generation has it's own slang terms and Generation Z is no different.
A Twitter user recently shared a screenshot of a document created by her sociology professor, James Callahan of Lowell High School which translates the meaning of current slang terms, which he calls “Callahan’s Generation Z Dictionary.” The document contains a green column with words like “sis," "spill the tea," and "snack,” along with a yellow column with his attempts to define them.
The teacher says he created the spreadsheet in order to better connect with his students. Why wasn't there a list like this for all of us?
Here are his list of latest words and what they mean:
- High key– very obvious
- Hop off– mind your own business
- I’m dead– that was amusing
- Low key– not very obvious
- Mad mad/big mad– very mad
- No cap– I’m serious
