16 slang terms Gen Zers are using in 2023 and what they really mean

  • The speed slang spreads through social media poses a challenge for anyone trying to keep up.
  • Members of Gen Z are using a slew of new terms, such as  "situationship" and "rizz."
  • Here are 16 slang terms, what they mean, and how to use them properly.

Insider Today

Slang once traveled solely through word-of-mouth, but the emergence of MTV in the 1990s fundamentally changed the speed at which slang expressions could spread outside of their communities, Robert A. Leonard, a forensic linguist at Hofstra University in New York, told Insider.

"[MTV] would have back-to-back music videos and every young person watched them," Leonard said. "Then, they allowed African American performers," he said, which exposed many viewers to a culture different from their own. 

"So much slang comes from African American English," he added.

The rise of social media has further changed how — and how fast — slang spreads.

"Even though slang has always existed, the emergence of social media has created a situation where the potential for slang virality has increased," John Baugh , a linguist at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, told Insider.

Not only has social media become a new and efficient pathway for the spread of slang, it offers different incentives for the creation of new words.

"What better way to become an influencer than to figure out some slang expression that can be spread and then traced back to you," Baugh said.

Here are the meanings of 16 slang terms that members of Gen Z are using in 2023.

"It's giving" can be used as a way to compare someone or something to another person or thing, or to positively describe the overall vibe of a person or thing.

Situation 1: "Her outfit is giving 2012."

In this context, the subject's outfit is being compared to an outfit that might have been worn in 2012.

Situation 2:  "Her outfit is giving."

In this context, "giving" is used on its own and carries a positive connotation — the subject's outfit is being complimented.

A "fit check" describes the act of reviewing one's outfit. On TikTok, influencers often post their "fit checks," in which they announce the brand of each article of clothing they're wearing.

"Slay" describes something impressive — or, more generally, something positive — and can be used as a noun or an expression of admiration.

Situation 1: "Her performance at the Grammys was a slay."

Situation 2:  "Slay, girl!"

The term emerged during the 1970s and '80s amid Black drag and ballroom culture.

The term "era" follows its typical meaning, but it is accompanied by a word or phrase that describes an activity or event by which the period was defined.

A "gatekeeper" tries to control who has access to knowledge and opportunities.

A "situationship" is a romantic relationship that isn't quite a full-on relationship.

To "ghost" someone is to stop replying to their texts or calls, often without explanation.

"Touch grass" is said to people who seem to spend too much time online and could benefit from going outside.

Popular Slang Searches

Slang for trip.

As you've probably noticed, the slang synonyms for " trip " are listed above. Note that due to the nature of the algorithm, some results returned by your query may only be concepts, ideas or words that are related to " trip " (perhaps tenuously). This is simply due to the way the search algorithm works.

You might also have noticed that many of the synonyms or related slang words are racist/sexist/offensive/downright appalling - that's mostly thanks to the lovely community over at Urban Dictionary (not affiliated with Urban Thesaurus). Urban Thesaurus crawls the web and collects millions of different slang terms, many of which come from UD and turn out to be really terrible and insensitive (this is the nature of urban slang, I suppose). Hopefully the related words and synonyms for " trip " are a little tamer than average.

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary . These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae ). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: @krisk , @HubSpot , and @mongodb .
