We all had a moment where we went like, \u201cano daw?\u201d when someone says something we don\u2019t know. Now that the digital age has fully taken over, more slang words have been curated by our generation. We\u2019ve extended words or even made them complicated to the extent that some find them hard to comprehend.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re one of those people, here are some words, phrases, and terms that are mostly used by today\u2019s generation to help you decode the Gen Z Slang.<\/p>\n

1.Carps
\n\"\"
\nCarpet? Carp fish? It gets even more complicated when we use that word in a conversation.<\/p>\n

For instance: \u201cBro, Katip carps?\u201d, \u201cG!\u201d
\nHere\u2019s the thing: carps is derived from a lot of words.
\nCarps = Carpet = Rug = r \/ u \/ g = are you g = Are you game?<\/p>\n

2.Material gworl
\n\"\"
\nMaterial gworl is derived from a Tiktok sound, Material Girl, by Saucy Santana. Since then, people use this term as a person who is fabulous and materialistic in a sassy way. Similar to baddie (#4).<\/p>\n

Example:
\nPerson 1: *wears high heels instead of sneakers to SM*
\nPerson 2: I love your shoes, you\u2019re such a material gworl!<\/p>\n

3.Tita
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Although we know that Tita means \u201caunt\u201d, it has evolved in describing people who aren\u2019t even aunts. If you do tita things, then you are a tita. For instance, keeping extra tissues and sachet condiments from restaurants, you love buying home items, you live for grocery shopping, and such.<\/p>\n

Example:
\nPerson 1: I saw this minimalist muji room sa Home Buddies, so I bought some items and I\u2019m going to decorate my room na and I might buy plants also.
\nPerson 2: My gosh, you\u2019re such a tita!<\/p>\n

4.Baddie
\n\"\"
\nIt\u2019s not necessarily a bad person. A baddie is a person that\u2019s straightforward, tough, hardcore, and independent. Similar to badass.<\/p>\n

Example:
\n*Woman defends herself from a misogynist*
\nBystander: Oooh, she\u2019s a baddie.<\/p>\n

5.Naur
\n\"\"
\nNaur basically means \u2018no\u2019, but in an Australian or \u201ccursive\u201d accent. This way of saying \u2018no\u2019 was used when people noticed that idols such as Rose from Blackpink say it in such a way.<\/p>\n

Example:
\nQuestion: \u201cKumain ka na?\u201d
\nResponse: \u201cNaur.\u201d<\/p>\n

6.Dead
\n\"\"
\nDead is an expression and is something you say when someone says something funny or shocking. It\u2019s usually accompanied by the skull emoji. You don\u2019t say \u201cYou\u2019re funny!\u201d to someone who\u2019s funny anymore.<\/p>\n

Example:
\n*Revelation*
\nPerson 1: \u201cDid you know that Amber just lied to us and made up all her stories?\u201d
\nPerson 2: \u201cWhat? No way! I\u2019m dead \ud83d\udc80\u201d<\/p>\n

*Someone says something funny*
\nPerson 1: \u201cDead \ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80\u201d<\/p>\n

7.Yarn
\n\"\"
\nSame as \u2018naur\u2019 (#5), it is an accented version of \u201ciyan\u201d.
\nExample:
\n\u201cOh, bakit di ka kumakain? Diet yarn?\u201d<\/p>\n

8.For today\u2019s video
\n\"\"
\nDerived from Youtubers and Tiktok vloggers, it means \u201cfor today\u201d. Sometimes, video is pronounced as \u201cbidyo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Example:
\nPerson 1: \u201cGuys, may gagawin pa ba?\u201d
\nPerson 2: \u201cWala na tayong tasks for today\u2019s video\u201d<\/p>\n

9.Rep era
\n\"\"
\nA.K.A revenge or redemption era refers to Taylor Swift\u2019s revenge album \u2018Reputation\u2019 after Kanye West and Kim Kardashian framed her in 2016. This means redeeming yourself after someone has wronged you.<\/p>\n

Example:
\n\u201cYou cheated on Jill? You better prepare for her rep era\u201d<\/p>\n

10.Dasurv
\n\"\"
\nExaggerated pronunciation of the word, \u201cdeserve\u201d. Usually used to greater extents (e.g., when someone has an achievement or someone gets karma). It can be accompanied by the extensive use of emojis for emphasis.<\/p>\n

Example:
\nPerson 1: \u201cLea passed the bar exam after studying so hard! Dasurv!!! \ud83d\udc9a\ud83c\udf38\ud83e\udd7a\ud83c\udf38\u201d
\nPerson 2: \u201cLeo was suspended after cheating on the exams. Dasurv \ud83d\udc80\ud83e\udd2a\ud83e\udd29\u201d<\/p>\n

11.ISTG, FR, AF
\n\"\"
\nThese are basically just shortcuts or acronyms for expressions.
\nISTG = I Swear To God
\nFR = For Real (usually used twice; \u201cfr fr\u201d)
\nAF = As F**k<\/p>\n

12.lol
\n\"\"
\nDon\u2019t capitalize! It\u2019s not LOL nor Laughing Out Loud. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re funny or they\u2019re laughing, it\u2019s actually quite the opposite. When you see lol, it can be used sarcastically to mean you\u2019re in trouble, or it can be used to avoid sounding serious (depending on the context). Bottom line is that they\u2019re definitely not laughing!<\/p>\n

Example:
\nSituation: *Magjowa fighting*
\nPerson 1: \u201cWhy are you overreacting?\u201d
\nPerson 2: \u201clol okay\u201d<\/p>\n

Situation: *Friends chatting, almost nothing else to say*
\nPerson 1: \u201cAhh okay\u201d
\nPerson 2: \u201cYeah lol\u201d
\n*silence*<\/p>\n

And there you have it! Now you\u2019re properly equipped to converse with a Gen Z-er. Easy, right?<\/p>\n
