🔘The Great Resignation
◻️People quitting their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic
When people talk about the Great Resignation, they're discussing the trend of workers quitting their jobs during the covid pandemic. These workers may be moving on to similar-yet-new jobs, changing career paths, or dropping out of the workforce entirely.
What drove the Great Resignation?
A lot of things, really. For one thing, the pandemic caused many workers to value themselves and their time more. So, workers who were being treated poorly at their jobs or felt underpaid chose to quit.
The pandemic also caused many workers' jobs to get more stressful (e.g. food service workers dealing with increasingly unruly customers; healthcare workers dealing with constantly full hospitals). Many of these burnt-out employees also quit.
For these and a host of other reasons, including the increasing prevalence of WFH and WFA positions, a record number of workers quit their jobs in 2021. In April 2021 alone, four million Americans quit their jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Where does the name Great Resignation come from?
The Great Resignation is a play on the Great Depression - the name for the worst economic downturn the industrialized world has experienced. Texas A&M professor Anthony Klotz is credited with coining the name Great Resignation, in May 2021. The Great Resignation is also sometimes called the Big Quit.
❓Example
"Yeah, I quit during the Great Resignation. My workplace felt very unsafe; money wasn't worth my life."

🔘 MTFBWY
◻️May the Force be with you
MTFBWY is a Star Wars acronym that stands for "May the Force be with you." People often send it in messages or online (especially on social media) to encourage others or wish them luck.
The Star Wars (SW) franchise popularized the saying among Jedi, who commonly use it as a farewell. It is uttered throughout the series, typically before a Jedi goes on a mission or, sometimes, right before dying. You might say MTFBWY is similar to religious persons saying "God bless you" or GBY.
May the Fourth
There is a higher chance of encountering MTFBWY on May 4th, as many SW fans have made this "Star Wars Day" to celebrate all things related to the space odyssey, similar to March 10 (Mar10) for Mario fans. On this day, fans may greet you or depart with "May the Fourth be with you" or send MTFBWY (where the "F" stands for "Fourth" instead of "Force").
❓Example
I'm off for my interview.
Good luck and MTFBWY!

🔘 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 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?

🔘Lunching
◻️Acting stupid
If a person is lunching, or lunchin', as the cool kids say it, they are doing something unintelligent, like playing chicken with an oncoming train or cheating in front of the teacher. It is typically brought on by the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Lunching originates from drug culture in the early-2000s. It plays off the familiar "out to lunch" phrase that describes people who seem not to be fully present, resulting in them making mistakes.
Typically, lunching behavior is associated with getting slept off weed or crunked off booze. However, an individual who is lunching may just be an airhead.
An example of lunching is when you burn your hand on the stove while thinking about your plans for the night. Or, when you drive through a stop sign without pressing the brake, you are lunching.
❓Example

◻️To check the source of a news headline
A phrase that describes when you have to check the source of an absurd headline to see if it's real or not (from "The Onion").
The Onion is a satirical newspaper that creates crazy and hilarious stories to make fun of current events. Nowadays, it seems that news stories are becoming more and more bizarre, which makes it more difficult to tell what is real and what is fake. This is why the Onion check is becoming more important, because you don't want to look stupid and post a fake story on social media or reference a satirical article in your paper.

What does onion check mean?◻️To check the source of a news headline
A phrase that describes when you have to check the source of an absurd headline to see if it's real or not (from "The Onion").
The Onion is a satirical newspaper that creates crazy and hilarious stories to make fun of current events. Nowadays, it seems that news stories are becoming more and more bizarre, which makes it more difficult to tell what is real and what is fake. This is why the Onion check is becoming more important, because you don't want to look stupid and post a fake story on social media or reference a satirical article in your paper.
❓Example
"Did you know that Obama ordered an attack on Sweden?!?!
Uhh, you might want to do an Onion check on that."
