I’ve never seen anyone simp so hard for a guy in my life.Īre you the kind of person who works overtime, games 12 hours a day, and covers the windows to keep out the sunlight? We’re not here to judge … just, maybe step outside once in a while? This term is used when someone’s spent too much time online and has lost touch with reality.You’re simpin’ hard for that girl, bro.To be a simp means to go above and beyond for someone you like when they’ve shown zero interest in you romantically. If your crush texts you to bring them a pack of chips from the grocery store when they live 30 minutes away, and you do it - we hate to tell you this, but it’s giving "simp" vibes (see what we did there!).

Talking about the person following you: “ It’s giving stalker.”.Talking about a good student: “ It’s giving studious.”.The term itself is used to describe the vibe of someone or something - but when you use it, make sure to put a little sass behind it. There’s no better way to hand out a compliment in 2023 than to start it with “it’s giving,” and yet we can’t imagine a worse way to get roasted than with those same words. Your friend responds: I hate you so much.Your friend texts you: What do you mean you’re moving to Australia?!?!.Short form for “if you know, you know.” You’re not going to hear someone say this in person, but ask us how many times we get this over text in a day… How good are you at flirting (aka “spitting game”)? The word “rizz” was likely derived from cha RIZZma (proper spelling: charisma) and describes your ability to pick up a love interest. That’s a pretty sus look you have on your face.If you ask your friend a question about their love life and they try redirecting the question, that’d seem pretty “sus,” don’t you think? “Sus” is short-form for suspicious and is used when someone does something unusual or questionable. If you ain’t woke, you ain’t paying attention.“Being woke” is in many ways a cultural phenomenon, and it urges those who haven’t “woken up" to get familiar with the social, political, and racial issues in our society. “Woke” has been around for a while now, but 2022 has made it one of the most used slang words in the U.S. I didn’t expect that comeback to be so savage.You’re an absolute savage for that roast!.This could include a witty comeback or a spectacular play in sports. It’s used as a compliment when you do something exceptionally cruel … but in a good way. Dick was a slang word for detective back then, so basically they were calling him Detective Tracy in the vernacular of the time.“Savage” describes someone who shows no regret or guilt for what they’ve done. dick/gumshoe/flatfoot - a detective (If you think about the character Dick Tracy, you may remember that he was a detective during the 1930s.Instead of a "cop" in the 1930s a police officer was called a copper.) copper - police officer (Look closely and you will notice that part of this word is still used to refer to a police officer.convincer/gat/heater/rod - slang for gun used interchangeably with gat, heater or rod.Chicago typewriter/Tommy gun - Thompson machine gun also known as the Tommy Gun.(There was a ton of gang violence in Chicago during the 1930s so it was not uncommon for the word "Chicago" to be used as a lead word for a slang term relative to violence.) buzzer - badge indicating someone is a law enforcement officer.bust out - to escape from jail or prison.big house - prison (First used in the 1930s, this slang term for prison is still used today.).

A lot of slang terminology that is still used in law enforcement and to refer to criminal activities can be traced back to this era. Quite a bit of slang related to coppers and criminals originated during the 1930s.
