Show Notes

Cheugy! Simp! Snack! TFW! Sheesh! IYKYK! Bet! GOAT!

This week it’s Gen Z slang all the way. 

We channel our inner ten to 25 year old and quiz ourselves game show/spelling bee style (“Can you use that in a sentence?”) to see how Gen Z proficient we are. We’ll touch on bro, brah, fam, glow up, cancel culture, CEO (Like “Sim and Shiv are the CEOs of podcasting!”), Stan (shout out to Eminem), e-boy and a-girl, W, dank (excellent) (“That ride is dank”), ghosting, salty (jealous), big yikes, and more unique and memorable Gen Z slang meanings.

How proficient are you in Gen Z slang? Have you heard and/or used any of these terms? Care to share? Shoot us a note at [email protected]

Also, are you Team Shiv or Team Sim when it comes to your slang use?
