8 #Outrageous Words Millennials Use (and What They Really Mean)
Consult HR if you hear the word "THOT," especially if you're trying to make "gwop" this year. Confused? You're not alone. Here's a breakdown of the slang words #Millennials are using.
1. Bae
The term #bae means "before anyone else," indicating a #romantic #partner. This is not to be confused with its meaning in Danish, which is "poop".
2. On fleek
The phrase became #popular only in 2014, despite appearing in #UrbanDictionary in 2003. #OnFleek means that something is "on point" or “#attractive." If someone says your presentation was on fleek, consider it a compliment.
3. Turnt
The word #turnt (sometimes paired with "up" or "down") indicates a state of inebriation. That's one to flag the next time you host a #happy hour for the #office.
4. Neek & teek
Most #entrepreneurs are likely to be called a #neek at least once in their lives. Intended as an insult (but this writer considers it a compliment), the #word refers to someone who is both a #nerd & a #geek. Similar insults in youth slang include wasteman, gasman, dinter, and bell for men. A #teek, similarly, is an "old-timer." Possibly a Gen X or Baby Boomer.
5. THOT
If you hear an employee utter the word THOT, it may be time to have a conversation with HR. The acronym stands for "That ho' over there," typically referring to a #woman.
6. Busted
The term busted refers to "ugly contemporaries." Synonyms for busted include flames, hangin, bruk, and, for brevity's sake, uggz.
7. Wazzed
No, unfortunately wazzed does not mean the same thing as its cousin, jazzed. A wazzed employee is typically drunk. (Other alternatives: hammered or hamstered.)
8. Bonked
Founders are likely #bonked most of the time. The #slang word means to be exhausted, as do wreckaged & clappin.
And then, of course, there's #gwop. It means #money.
