Questions businessman misunderstanding pop art retro style8 New Words You Should Add to Your Vocabulary (Or Not)

by Abu Poblete

What’s great about slang is that it’s constantly changing. You don’t need to be a linguist or a genius to contribute to it because sometimes, being annoyingly clever with a steady internet connection is enough. You’ve probably already seen the spawn from hell that was this tweet:

freshie1: lunch at zecaf? carps?
freshie2: PICS
me: wtf
freshie1: carps-carpet-rug- R U G
freshie2: pics-image-img- I M G

ANUNA

— polo (@JuanPabss) March 7, 2016

And it probably also left you scratching your head, looking at the replies for a better explanation, and then wanting to flip the nearest table when you finally got it. Just how much time do these people have? A lot, apparently. Here are other slang words that we’ve been “blessed” with.

Abu Poblete

Abu is a fangirl by day, and a sleeping fangirl by night. She is mostly seen on Twitter which she considers her first home even though she loathes with all her being its cancel culture (We can all grow and learn guys!). She ranks as the Philippines' number one Modern Family fan in QuizUp. She's a cool girl (she also wrote this write-up).
