Slang terms have been used for a long time, especially over different generations. Over time these terms have been changed, shortened, and updated but some of them have meant the same thing, but said differently. Even Millennials had their own slang but nowadays things have definitely switched and been updated. For some parents, it’s hard to keep up with the new verbiage. That’s why we made this list to keep you updated according to USAToday‘s new list.
