Do you know what it means to have drip?

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?

09:10: What is a “simp”?

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.
