Like, when casually referring to a room, an outfit, or even my day, I might suggest it could use a little "zhuzh." I also won't hesitate to “do a dirty chai” with “two pumps of espresso,” ‘cause I’m “extra” and “boujee” like that, whatevs.
What about you? Have you adopted any of these new words or phrases? Drop your faves below, and let's keep this wordplay thirst trap going. 🤣
I can't with the "I'll do a..." as in the example "I'll do a dirty chai." Instead of "I'd like a", or "I'll have a." It sounds like you're going to get all nasty with that latte.
Counterintuitively, I am also sort of opposed to "May I please have a" - which sounds so very Oliver Twist. It's like, here's my money, give me my damn espresso drink.
I looked it up and, thank God, the preferred spelling is "bougie." I was about to lose my shiz since it comes from the word "bourgeoisie." So if we're going to jack it up, let's at least keep some of its former glory LOL. #wordnerd
I like to use "not the" as a way to add emphasis to someone's audacity (I like 'audacity', too). As in "not that man pretending to ask a question as a way to cut the line".
I was saving this one for "That's Marvelous" but it's too wonderful... new slang and words made popular by online culture, like "edgelord" noun, slang : someone who makes wildly dark and exaggerated statements (as on an internet forum) with the intent of shocking others. She's an Edgelord... that gotham girl! 😂
I've written about these newfangled words which morph every day into a new version of the day old version. I am ashamed what my once voluminous vocabulary is reduced to these non word words. I die a thousand deaths when someone say "irregardless.,"

Yes, I am the asshole :-)

Quiet quitting is such a polite, almost demure way of describing a behavior that is both a sport and an art.

Ditto "irregardless" grrrrrrrr! And "anywayS" makes me insane!
Love bougie--my new fave. Utterly DETEST "LOL" and think people who use it ought to be charged with a capital crime. Seriously.
