π AAVE
β»οΈAfrican-American Vernacular English
AAVE is "African-American Vernacular English," which is American English spoken with vocabulary, accent, and grammatical traits unique to African-Americans. As cultural awareness has progressed, AAVE has become a hot-button issue, highlighting the appropriation of the dialect as slang by non-Black communities to sound cooler.
Where does AAVE come from?
There is no clear consensus among linguistic professionals as to where AAVE originated. Some believe it traces back to English-based creole language variants from the 17th century. Others believe it dates back to African captives brought to the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade.
It became prevalent in the Southern United States among African-American slaves leading up to the Civil War and persisted thereafter, evolving over time. Nowadays, it is commonly associated with working-class African-American urban communities, Hip-hop and rap artists, and Black professional athletes.
Modern usage of AAVE
Due to heightened awareness of racial tensions and disparities in the 2010s, AAVE has grown in usage. Part of the growth can be attributed to increased understanding that AAVE is a language dialect instead of a stereotypical sign of unintelligence.
AAVE has become more common in the "Woke" community, especially on social media to recognize and call out non-Black people appropriating AAVE to sound cool. Some have gone so far as to make a list of AAVE terms that non-Black people cannot use as slang. Terms include bussin, tea, doe, finna, and snatched. As you can imagine, this approach has been met with resistance.
What are other names for AAVE?
AAVE may be referred to by several names, some accurate and some controversial. It may be called Black English (BE), Black English Vernacular (BEV), or Black Vernacular English (BVE). Many Boomers refer to AAVE as Ebonics, which has become a controversial term.
βExample
I'm not OK with Brad hijacking AAVE to sound cooler.
Wow, chill out, I didn't know you were part of the woke police.

π Galentine's Day
β»οΈ6
February 13th ladies-only celebration
Galentine's Day is a holiday on February 13th (the day before Valentine's Day) that celebrates women. It combines "gal" and "Valentine's".
The term comes from the TV comedy "Parks and Recreation" and is Leslie Knope's (played by Amy Poehler) favorite day of the year. The celebration involves lady friends leaving their SOs to get together and share a breakfast. The episode in which the term was created aired during the second season of the show in 2010.
IRL, the holiday is not restricted to just breakfast or the February 13th date. It can even be observed on February 14th as a replacement to Valentine's Day by single ladies.
βExample
You free for Galentine's Day this year?
U know it! U will always be my galentine!

π Outkick Your Coverage
β»οΈTo have a romantic partner who is much more attractive than you
Outkick your coverage is a phrase that refers to when you are dating someone who is much more attractive than you. The phrase comes from American football - in which a punter may kick a ball too far down the field, past his coverage team, allowing the opposing player who receives the ball to slip through gaps in the coverage. When used in a romantic sense, the phrase implies you managed to snatch up a person who is "out of your league."
The person who is "out of your league" may be more physically attractive, have a better personality, or have more money than you. They may also possess a combination of all those traits. When someone says you outkicked your coverage, it's not necessarily meant as a dis. It may, in fact, be a compliment on your ability to snag an appealing partner.
βExample
Is that your wife?
Yep.
Wow, you sure outkicked your coverage!
I know, I'm a lucky man.

β»οΈWorkouts specializing on a person's legs
In the fitness world, leg day is when a person focuses all their exercise workouts on their lower body. This includes exercises regarding calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
Origin of leg day
The slang phrase "leg day" dates back to at least the early-2000s when workout fanatics would share dread about the toll leg day takes on their bodies. Or, they would poke fun at others for "skipping leg day" if their legs didn't look muscular enough.
As social media expanded in the 2010s, "leg day" entered the wider public's lexicon, although fitness enthusiasts typically use it. Examples of when people use the phrase include making fun of top-heavy people on TikTok who obviously skipped leg day or sharing mirror-reflection selfies on Twitter bragging about your legs' physique.
βExample
Whoa, did you see Ahmad's calves?
Uhh, yeah. Every day is leg day for him.

πSorority Squat
β»οΈHands-on-knees, butt-out group photo pose
The sorority squat is a pose that sorority girls (effortlessly and without fail) adopt in group photos. Specifically, to do the sorority squat means to bend your knees slightly, place your hands on them, and pop out your butt, while simultaneously smiling for the camera.
Sorority girls began adopting this pose to allow them to vary their heights, making it easier to fit dozens or even hundreds of sisters within the same picture. Over time, though, the sorority squat became sorority girls' default, accepted group photo pose. Now, even when only two or three sisters feature in a photo, they're likely to assume the sorority squat.
Whenever anyone other than a college-aged female attempts to perform the sorority squat, they typically look ridiculous. So if you're reading this and thinking you might adopt the sorority squat in your next group photo, you may want to reconsider.
βExample
"Ohmygod, I think I just pulled my back doing that sorority squat. Guess I'm not as young as I used to be."

π Crush
β»οΈA person who is the object of someone's affection
A crush is someone you have romantic feelings for, such as a cute schoolmate, attractive co-worker, or likable celebrity. People may also use it as a verb, as in "George has a crush on Juanita."
Where does crush come from?
There are various claims to the origins of crush. One of the most prominent explanations is that it comes from the late 19th century as a variation of "mash," which was common slang for flirting at the time.
Crush gained popularity through the 20th century and people still commonly use it in the 21st century. For example, if your friend is flirting with someone, you might tease them that they have a new crush.
Characterstics of a crush
Attraction is very subjective. A person may develop a crush on someone based on their appearance, mannerisms, personality, profession, etc. However, a crush typically is a temporary infatuation with someone you just met or don't know well. Once you get to know the person, the crush feeling wears off, and you move towards love, friendship, or disillusionment (in some cases).
βExample
Are you finally gonna talk to your crush during lunch.
Probs not. Too scary.

Snoozefeed is a term that refers to the act of scrolling through and browsing your newsfeed instead of getting out of bed. The term combines "snooze" and "news feed."
It's common to hit the snooze button in the morning when the alarm clock goes off. But instead of going back to sleep you get your phone or tablet out and scroll through your social media newsfeed.

I actually woke up at 7 but I was snoozefeeding for about an hour.
