Reading the title to this thread almost made me puke. I'm glad it wasn't some millennial messing with us lol I know Cray Cray and Bae. Fad words have always made me laugh
I re-read the title and thought... "Pipp has a boyfriend!"... (lucky guy... he'll get the maple bacon cupcakes!)
Can we just talk about fad words for a sec...
Who decided it was cool to use words like bae and cray?
Just to name a few..
Bae
Cray
On fleek
Snack
Swag
Thot
YOLO
Turnt
Rekt
Ratchet
I'm positive there are many many more...
I try to imagine being on a date and my guy looking at me and saying " Bae you lookin like a snack today... dem eyebrows on fleek" You talking about ruining a date... I'd be out of there quicker than he could blink his eyes..
So tell me... do you use these new fad words ? Can you think of more fad words ? What's the best fad sentence you can come up with?

Someone once told me that my eyebrows were "on fleek", and I had no idea what that meant.
I figured it was a typo, and for some reason, I thought he meant to say that my eyebrows were "on fleeT". Not that this interpretation was any better... But I actually thought he meant "on fleet", as in a fleet of starships... Like as in a reference to Star Trek.
Basically, I thought he was telling me that my eyebrows looked like Mr. Spock's--and I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing.
The one I could never get was "sick"-- as in,"Yo, she looks totally sick!"
And of course I'd be thinking, "She looks just fine to me..."
Sigh. I don't like admitting that I'm getting old. But, I think I'm getting old.
Back in the day, I also had a phondness for writing out "phat" when I wrote a letter when that was a big phad...
It was just for phun, but it totally drove my phriends (or was that phiends) crazy.![]()
What does "Thot" and "Ratchet" mean?
By the time old people start learning phrases, they are already outdated lol.
I give up. My vocabulary was set in stone around 1986.
I remember in the 80's there was the valley girl thing going on and people were saying words like.. tubular, gag me with a spoon, gnarly, dude, sweet, etc...
And yet, we all thought we sounded so cool.
*FACEPALM!!!!*
It's kind of funny how every generation thinks the next generation's slang is so much more ridiculous than their own. But now I have to wonder if WE ever realize how ridiculous WE sounded "back then"...
As I was shaking my head at words like "Bae" and "adorzies", I had to remember that I'm from the generation that invented The Garbage Pail kids and phrases like, "Barf me out the door" (I always hated that phrase... way too graphic for me!)
How in the world we have all now made it to middle-aged adulthood is beyond me.
