Your kids’ slang…defined

Ever wonder what the heck your kids are talking about?

Here’s our guide to some of the phrases youngsters use we don’t get, including:

  • Dank  It’s slang for something excellent or very high quality
  • Salty  It means jealous. (Also, see “jelly”!)
  • Big yikes  It’s what you say after you do something really embarrassing.
  • Bougie  It means extravagantly fancy.
  • Living rent free in your head  It describes something you obsess over
