If the new-age lexicon has had you shook, TBH, you’re at the right place and we know the struggle is real. Here’s the perf guide to that will have you covered Hundo P!

Milk

Get your mind out of the gutter! Milk is used for anyone in need of help or self-improvement. For eg, What’s with those ugly clothes she wears all the time? She needs some milk ASAP!

Umfriend

A friend with benefits. For eg, I’m bringing my... um...friend to dinner, hope you don’t mind.

Generic

Means next level basic. For example, Oh! You’re still using an Android phone? How generic!

Baeless

A millennial who’s single.

Dead

When you’re overwhelmed with something, you might pretty much just die. For instance, this four-cheese pizza is so good... I’m dead!

Feels

Short form for feelings. Sample this, OMG! I’m starting to have the feels for my friend with benefits.

Extra

Meaning too much, used to refer to someone who’s OTT (over the top). For eg, Why do you always have to be so extra?

Rents

It’s nothing to do with rent but rather a code-word and an abbreviation for parents. For eg, umm... can we talk about this later? I have rents around the corner.’

Wig snatched

Exposing someone in order to reveal the truth. For eg, when the time is right, I’ll wig snatch that douchebag boyfriend of hers to everyone in the group.

Chuh

It’s combining sure and yup into one word. For instance, when someone asks you, ‘Ccan we grab some lunch before the movie? I’m starving.’ And you say, ‘Chuh!’

Suh

As if wassup wasn’t short enough, this is an extra short version of what’s up. Mostly used while texting.

Glow up

Refers to a person who has suddenly become more attractive. For eg, Wow! She’s really glowed up since her college days.
