10 Trending Slang Terms to Add to Your Vocabulary

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at ASU chapter.

1. Basic 

 

Common, dull, irrelevant, and materialistic.

 

2. Or nah

 

Placing or nah at the end of a question is the trendiest way to get that yes or no answer.

 

3. YAAAAAS

 

Amp up the enthusiasm by replacing boring old yes with this term. YAAAAAS Queen B. 

 

4. Turn up 

 

In other terms, it’s #TimeToParty.

 

5. Bae

 

Before anyone else. Bae doesn’t even have to be that cute boy you have on lockdown … Pizza understands, therefore pizza is bae, am I right?

 

6. Doe

 

The same meaning as though, but with a bigger emphasis. Plus, it sounds super rad.

 

7. Swerve

 

Used to imply dodging someone or simply another way of saying no.

 

8. kk

 

It’s not okay but it’s not K. It’s that in between that makes it all seem more chill.

 

9. Hashtag

Making a point? Make it a bigger point by placing the term hashtag in front.

 

10. Fam

 

Family turns to fam because abbreviations are SO in these days (obviously).
