Teach us some slang words from wherever you're from.
This challenge is inspired by a series of Youtube videos by Vanity Fair called Slang School where different celebrities teach viewers different slang words from their homeland. So I wanted to see if anyone here had some slang words that they know or have used or have heard of from wherever you live or whatever place you grew up from. Trust me, there's an assortment of slang terms. Try to teach the readers at least 5 to 10 slang terms from your homeland or place that you grew up in and explain the meanings behind those slang terms.

Middle School Slang (In America)

Oof

To me, oof is like saying darn, or to bad. Kids these days tend to say oof all the time. Like if somebody has the slightest inconvenience everybody’s like oof. Like today my shoe was untied and I was like “I need to tie my shoe” and my friend was like “oof.” So yeah, it’s just a word people are obsessed with saying. (P.S sorry in advance for the bad grammar I’m super tired)

Yeet

Okay so I’m pretty sure “yeet” is like throw. I think it originated from an old vine (if u don’t know what that is then too bad) and now middle school students just say yeet normally. For example, “I’m gonna yeet my textbook across the room.” (Which I’m not crazy this actually happened in science today. I think I’m the only sane kid in my school left :)

Oh my godness

This is like omg or oh my goodness but it’s just like a mashup of god and goodness to get godness. So yeah that’s all.

Weeow.

This one is kind of annoying to me. So tweens/teens in my school will say wow but they will make a sort of Eee sound so it’s like weeow. I don’t know how to sleep that. Sorry I mean spell. (I’m supposed to be asleep btw) They will also say it kind of squeaky or whiny-ish. It’s really annoying but people do it so...

Spill the tea (sis)

This one is more commonly said, and it’s a newer thing I guess. Basically tea is like gossip, news, secrets, personal stories or like “the scoop.” So when people say spill the tea there like indicating for the person to like talk about their news or secret whatever. Then sometimes girls will say “spill the tea sis.”

That’s all for tonight. Adios amigos!
