Just like the sneaker doodles on your favourite Converse that have now become passé, slang words from the Urban Dictionary have too. Trying to sound cool can only get you so far, till someone snaps back saying “Stop with the ‘dude’ in every sentence!”. So here’s a list of slang words to stop using this year…
We can see you already rolling your eyes—that’s exactly why you need to stop using this word. Find another way to express your love.
You Can’t Sit With Us
The hashtag that took Instagram by storm with every groupie ever posted has to stop now! Seriously! Did it ever occur to you that maybe they don’t want to?
Y’all
Y’all need to stop with the y’all! Unless you're from Alabama with an accent to back it up, you’re sounding hella wannabe and will be judged.
OCD
Just because you like your stationery lined up pretty on your desk or fancy yourself a neat wardrobe (so it’s easier to find things), doesn’t mean you have OCD. Stop throwing it around like it isn’t a serious disorder.
Goals
Talk about things escalating to exorbitant heights—suddenly, everything is goals now. Relationships, friendships, cars, food, puppies, squirrels, everything. So what about your actual goals, hmm?
Totes
As if using ‘totally’ in every sentence wasn’t bad enough, we now have an abbreviation for it. Makes you wonder, what’s happening to this world, eh?
Slay
Unless you’re Beyoncé, you can’t get it right. So stop trying. Besides, that Insta-upload of your girlfriend on the dance floor isn't what we’d call ‘greatly amusing’—which is what slay means.
OTP
Stands for One True Pairing, but most likely to get mistaken for One Time Password. Stop trying so hard. Whatever happened to just saying ‘They look good together’?
