🔘 VSCO Girls
◻️ Preppy female teen Instagrammers
VSCO girls are a group of female teen Instagrammers and TikTok users who are known for wearing scrunchies, wielding Hydro Flasks, and expressing their desire to "save the turtles." They began appearing on Instagram and other apps in 2019, dressed in largely similar oversized t-shirts, crop tops, and Birkenstocks.
The VSCO girl movement was started by teen girls who edited and posted photos to their Instagrams using the VSCO photo-editing app. The app's filters made it easy for these teens to portray their lives as "beachy," "effortless," and "laid-back." As the VSCO girl trend grew more popular, a number of female YouTubers began creating "transformation videos" detailing their transformations into VSCO girls. These videos often included the YouTubers' search for VSCO girl-appropriate accessories, including Fjallraven Kanken backpacks, metal straws, and flashy scrunchies.
Because VSCO girls are predominantly white, thin, and affluent, and they've adopted slang (like sksksk and "And I oop") that originated in other online communities, reporters and critics have often called the VSCO girl trend exclusionary. VSCO girls themselves are often mocked as being basic, because they cling so strongly to certain brands and social media trends.
❓ Example
"I got my Crocs, my Carmex, and my puka necklace. I'm totes ready to be a VSCO girl."

🔘Whitesplain
◻️To explain racism to a person of color
Whitesplain is a term that refers to when a white person tries to explain the true nature of racism to a person of color. It combines "white" and "explain".
Whitesplaining is usually done by oblivious white people with good intentions. They are sharing their perspective but not in a way that conveys understanding of the plight of colored people. It comes across as condescending and totally inappropriate considering that white people have not experienced racism the same way that colored people have, especially in America. Backlash against whitesplaining usually occurs on social media where opinions are more often exchanged.
❓Example
"Did you see his tweet yesterday?
No, was it bad?
Well, do you think whitesplaining racism to a civil rights leader is bad?
Yikes. :-/"

An auction draft is a fantasy sports term for a draft where owners bid on players to build their team. In this type of draft the team with the last pick in the first round has the first pick in the second round and so on.
The auction draft is one of two main draft that fantasy owners choose from to build their teams. The other is the "snake draft" or "serpentine draft," where the team with the last pick in the first round has the first pick in the second round and so on. In an auction draft, each team has an alotted amount of money, usually $100 or $200, to bid on players to fill their roster. This type of draft is especially popular in a "keeper league" because it allows the owner to choose his players rather than leaving it up to the luck of draft position.
❓Example
"I don't like to spend too much on any one player in auction drafts, instead I like to clean up on talent after everyone else spends their money."
