Slay

Snatched is the new fleek. It's used to describe anything that looks really good or on point. Anything
from your eyebrows to your outfit can be snatched. If your eyebrows are slaying, they're snatched. If
your outfit is slaying, it's snatched.

Stan is the Internet's word for a hardcore fan. It comes from the Eminem song Stan, which is about an
obsessed fan. Stanning is also a thing, as in, "He's stanning Eminem by writing him letters."

If someone calls you extra, you're either trying too hard or being over the top. Think Regina George's
mom. However, anyone from a teacher who gives too much homework to that loud, drunk birthday girl
stumbling around in a plastic tiara can be described as extra.

OTP stands for One True Pairing. Your OTP is a couple you are emotionally invested in. My OTP is
Beyonc and Jay Z. If they were to break up, I'd literally die.

Ship is one of the most important terms on the Internet. It comes from the word relationship. You "ship"
the two people you want to be in a relationship. So, if I think Olivia Pope and Fitz Grant should be
together, I ship Olivia and Fit

One of the internets favorite pastimes is to fantasize about the possibility of celebrity relationships.
(One need look no further than the fount of Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio romance theories for proof.)
And shipping is a convenient verb for publicly endorsing potential hookups as succinctly as possible. But
it got too weird after this tweet

FR acronym for forreal

Done something totally cool and badass? Describe it to your friends as savage and watch as they
look really confused but also pretty impressed. Remember: you didnt choose the thug life it
chose you.

6. Extra

Perhaps the word gaining the fastest popularity right now is extra, which describes someone
whos over-the-top or trying too hard. Knowing this might even force you to realise you yourself
are extra about something, which is a distressing but ultimately necessary discovery.
Extra caught fire just in time for a year filled with people doing overly dramatic, excessive things. The
Bachelorettes Chad was the definition of extra with his excessive bear metaphors, his consumption of
deli meats, and his showy weight-lifting regimen. Apple was a little too extra in explaining why it
removed the headphone jack from its latest iPhone. LeBron James was preemptively extra in celebrating
the Indians game-tying home run at the World Series. And Trumps RNC stage entrance, among many
other stunts, took extra to new heights in the political realm. Im fond of this onemostly because it
reminds me of this tweetbut its old now. Byeeeeeeee.

Basic

obvious behavior, dress, action.

What it means: High-key refers to something needing to be said out loud. Low-key is the
opposite. Both can refer to an intense like/dislike.

For example:

"High-key don't wanna move from the couch today. Or ever."

OR

"I'm just low-key in love with him, OK?"

In the true spirit of its definition, the word lowkeya term meant to express a level of subtlety
in a persons mannerwas lowkey popular long before it went mainstream. You could credit
that viral Zola the stripper Twitter tale for helping us fully embrace it. (Highlights: she lowkey
set me up, or lowkey im cryin.) But what was once a helpful adverb for a decent Hamilton
joke now feels overused for comic effect. Lowkey Im over it.

Here are both used in the same sentence:

"Low-key need to go to the gym; high-key want Taco Bell."

This is one of my personal favorites, and it means on-point or very good.

Your eyebrows are on fleek.

Throw shade

Giving someone a dirty look. Giving someone the stank eye.

Serious post truth referring to objective facts are less influential in shaping opinion than
appeals to emotion and personal belief

Throw shade

There's a common theme here; the dab appears to be a way of showing off. Note the lack of any
footage here of Richard Dunne hitting a dab after yet another own goal.
