An Incomplete and Growing List of Youth Lingo I Don’t Understand Because I’m Old

You know you’re old when you fall behind on the latest lingo, don’t care to catch up, and unironically use the word “youth” to describe young people these days. Here’s a list of words and what I think they might mean from the few contexts I’ve seen them in:

Scoop: A lot of cocaine

Finna: Going to do a thing

Yeet: A sound one would make when seeing something slightly alarming, like a mouse. Akin to “eek.”

Skeet: AW SKEETSKEETSKEETSKEETSKEETSKEETSKEET

Dip: Do a marijuana

Mans: Multiple men

Low key: Quiet

High key: Not quiet

Gualla: Guacamole

Rn: I need a nurse

Slick: Hair gel

Geekin: Tweekin

Bet: Wager

Curve: Erection

Salty: Poor attitude that needs mending

Huggle: New drug

Ship: To like something

Dime: Old school drug measurement

Fam: Italian slang for “family”

Gucci: Wasn’t that guy in jail or something?

Sus: Something in which to dip chicken nuggets

Fleek: What do you mean no one says “fleek” anymore? I was just getting used to this one.
