The act of being or getting canceled gained popularity during the \u201cMe Too\u201d movement; when bad actors were outed by victims of sexual assault or misogyny, they were \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/wordplay\/cancel-culture-words-were-watching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canceled<\/a>,\u201d which essentially means to de-platform or stop supporting someone, especially a public figure. Someone can get canceled, for instance, for making a racist or sexist comment. As a teenage slang phrase, it\u2019s often used ironically to support something inconsequential, like \u201cI got canceled because I don\u2019t like pizza crust.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, while <strong>woke<\/strong> was originally slang for being politically or culturally aware, it has been appropriated by far-right movements to degenerate progressive culture, especially cultures of inclusion and diversity. In response to the right\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/shortcuts\/2020\/jan\/21\/how-the-word-woke-was-weaponised-by-the-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adoption of the phrase<\/a>, many people now use it ironically (<em>e.g<\/em>. \u201cI don\u2019t like paper straws, saving the planet is too woke\u201d).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Also in the terminally online category, to <strong>ratio<\/strong> someone means to gain more support with an opposing stance (it refers to Twitter culture, when a response to a tweet gets more likes \u2013 usually opposing or making fun of it \u2013 than the original tweet). Next, you have <strong>e-girl<\/strong> or <strong>e-boy<\/strong>, which<strong> <\/strong>is a person who builds a flirtatious presence on the internet. The <strong>millennial pause<\/strong> references the short delay before a (usually older) person starts recording themselves in a selfie video. Fittingly so, <strong>brain rot <\/strong>means that someone is a little <em>too <\/em>online, or a little too into something to the point of mindlessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"child using the internet and learning slang phrases\" class=\"wp-image-27935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1170%2C780&amp;ssl=1 1170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=585%2C390&amp;ssl=1 585w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=263%2C175&amp;ssl=1 263w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/image\/thomas-park-6MePtA9EVDA-unsplash.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gen Alpha Slang&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lines are a little blurry and the language is still developing quickly, but if you\u2019re a parent of a child born from roughly 2010 to 2024, your kid is considered part of Generation Alpha (Gen Z is generally considered 1996 to 2010-ish).
