Slang, Trends, and Other Confusing Things: A Boomer’s Guide to Gen Z
I’m gonna use this entry to explain some dumb shit that the TikTok generation (mostly Gen Z and young millennials) have created.
Suggest shit in the comment and I’ll edit this entry explaining it for you.
I guess I’ll start of with “boomer”. Boomer is hardly used in the literal sense. If someone calls you a boomer, it means that you’re old or you act old.
Ex:
“How do I works these damn cellphones?”
“Everyone knows how to work a cellphone. You’re such a boomer”.
My personal favorite: ✨[enter word/phrase here]✨. The sparkle emojis are used to indicate sarcasm. They can be used genuinely, and it’s very easy to tell whether the user is being sarcastic or genuine.
Ex: “Don’t you just love ✨standing in the rain for five hours because your date forgot to pick you up from the bus stop✨?”
Ex: “That comeback was ✨hilarious✨.
👉👈 is the shy pose. It’s used to indicate that the user is timid. It it typically used in a flirtatious sense by girls. It is also commonly accompanied by 🥺.
Ex: I would talk to that guy, but 👉👈.
No❤️ is an alt tiktok thing that straight tiktok uses incorrectly. It’s a condescending, passive aggressive way of saying no. It’s like saying “no, but okay”. The same thing goes for yes❤️
Ex: “Don’t you just love it when guys don’t use deodorant?”
”Honey, no❤️“.
Ex: “Am I the only one that likes making fun of the less fortunate?”
”Yes❤️“
A bruh girl is a tomboy. I don’t think I have to give an example for this one. Old people know what a tomboy is, right?
Shitting on Nickelback is a trend enjoyed by Millennials and Gen Z alike. The joke is that most people don’t even know why they’re not supposed to like Nickelback, and they just go along with it to be cool.
