The Gen Alpha Slang That Has Us All Googling

Ah, the joys of trying to keep up with the latest slang. Remember when “cool” and “awesome” were the peak of linguistic innovation? Well, those days are long gone, and now the world is faced with an entirely new lexicon courtesy of Generation Alpha. These kids have turned language into something of an enigma, leaving older folks scratching their heads and running to Google.

There was a time when the biggest debate was whether “cool” or “rad” was the preferred term. But now, everyone is diving into the world of ‘rizz’ and ‘gyatt,’ and many feel like they need a translator just to keep up with their nieces and nephews. So brace yourselves because exploring this cryptic world of youthful expression might feel like needing a Rosetta Stone course just to understand what the kids are talking about.

Gyatt

Topping the list is ‘gyatt’. Apparently, it’s used to express strong excitement, surprise, or admiration, particularly when someone with a large bottom walks by. Because, of course, why wouldn’t we have a special term for that? It’s like the digital age’s version of a wolf whistle. Oh, the complexities of modern-day complimenting!

Rizz

Next up is ‘rizz’.  This one stands for ‘charisma’ and refers to that magical ability to charm a romantic partner. It’s like the Gen Alpha version of having a “game.” Now, if only I could find my rizz from my single days—pretty sure it’s buried somewhere in my Netflix subscription.

Pookie

Coming in third is ‘pookie’. It’s a term of endearment, similar to ‘honey’ or ‘sweetheart.’ So next time you hear someone calling their partner ‘pookie,’ don’t be alarmed—they’re not adopting a bear, just being all lovey-dovey in their own adorable way.

Mewing

In fourth place, we have ‘mewing’. This one’s a bit bizarre. It involves pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth to create a more defined jawline. Because apparently, we’re all supposed to have model-like jawlines now? Oh, and there’s a ‘shh’ hand signal involved too. So, if you see someone making a face that looks like they’re trying to suppress a sneeze, don’t worry—they’re just ‘mewing.’

Sigma

Coming in fifth is ‘sigma’. The term ‘sigma male’ is used to describe a man with hypermasculine qualities. Think of it as the mysterious cousin of the ‘alpha male,’ with a dash of brooding and a sprinkle of not caring what others think. Sounds like the plot of every rom-com I’ve ever seen.

No Cap

‘No cap’ is sixth. To ‘cap’ means to lie, so ‘no cap’ means someone is being truthful. This one makes me nostalgic for the days when we just said, “for real” or “no kidding.” But hey, ‘no cap’ has a nice ring to it, right?

Simp

In seventh place, we have ‘simp’. This term refers to someone who shows excessive affection toward someone else, often without reciprocation. I guess every generation needs its word for unrequited love. Shakespeare would be so proud.

Aura

Ranking eighth is ‘aura’. It’s used to describe how cool or cringy someone is perceived to be. You could say that someone with an infectious personality has a ‘positive aura,’ while someone who tells dad jokes at parties might be accused of having a ‘negative aura.’ Sorry, dads, you had a good run.

NPC

Ninth is ‘NPC’. It stands for ‘non-playable character’ and is used as an insult for someone who lacks critical thinking and just goes with the flow. I guess we can all relate to feeling like an NPC on those never-ending Zoom calls.

Skibidi

Finally, rounding out the list researched and created by JeffBet we have ‘skibidi.’ This one originated from a series of animated videos called ‘skibidi toilet,’ and it’s as ambiguous as it sounds. ‘Skibidi’ can mean anything from cool to bizarre or even sinister. It’s the verbal equivalent of a mystery grab bag, and honestly, I’m not sure if that’s terrifying or exciting.
