Slang
Words that leave TikTok, Discord, Reddit, Twitch and chat and arrive in speech without a manual.
Slang
Aura
In slang, someone’s charisma and presence treated as a scoreboard: aura means cool; losing aura means the scene just tripped you.
Slang
Brainrot
Slang for the hangover of thin content — and for the content itself: a head (or a feed) full of short video, memes and citations that will not leave.
Slang
Chopped
An appearance verdict: ugly, unflattering, off the frame — the person, the photo or the fit.
Slang
Cooked
Done for: no way out, already lost — on a test, in ranked, or in reputation.
Slang
Crash out
Snapping all at once: losing it and doing something you will probably regret.
Slang
Delulu
Delusional, as a joke: hanging on to a story that almost certainly will not happen.
Slang
Glaze
Praising too much, visibly and awkwardly — coating someone in varnish, like icing on a donut.
Slang
Gyatt
A hyperbolic shout at a body, especially hips, turned into a schoolyard meme.
Slang
Looksmaxxing
A routine of optimising appearance — from skin to surgery — spoken as a game grind.
Slang
Mewing
A tongue-on-palate posture sold as an exercise to change the jawline.
Slang
No cap
No lie: the short stamp for “I mean it.”
Slang
NPC
A person described as a video-game extra: stock lines, a fixed route, no visible agency.
Slang
Ratio
When the reply (or the sea of replies) beats the post’s metrics — a public loss on Twitter/X.
Slang
Rizz
Flirting game: the short charm — open a conversation, turn the tone, the other person yields.
Slang
Sigma
A stereotype of the “lone wolf” in internet masculinity pyramids — the man who steps off the alpha/beta ladder and still sells himself as a winner.
Slang
Simp
Someone who lowers themselves or overspends for romantic attention — usually unreturned — and becomes the joke.
Slang
Stan
An intense fan: defends, streams, tracks — and sometimes attacks — in the name of an idol.
Slang
Touch grass
An order to leave the screen and touch the physical world — usually mockery of someone chronically online.
Slang
Unalive
A platform euphemism: to kill or to die said in a way the filter might let through.
