🔘 Bro


What is a bro?


◻️Brother

Bro is short for "brother," which may be an actual blood brother or brother-in-law. Guys also commonly use it to refer to a close male friend.
When used with family members, bro is a straightforward abbreviation that simply refers to a brother. For example, you may text your brother, "Hey bro. You coming to mom and dad's this Sunday"

However, guys also use bro to refer to close male friends with no family ties (sometimes called a bromance).

In these cases, the guys are typically young (in their teens or twenties), into sports and partying, and looking to pick up women. Common bro stereotypes are fraternity brothers, surfers, and sports teammates.
For many, these types of bros conjure up negative connotations that all bros are muscular and unintelligent. However, it's never wise to assume who is and isn't a bro since bros come in all shapes and sizes and are not limited to a specific type of male.


❓Example
Sup bro? How u doing?
Good. U?
I'm great, bro.

🔘 Dad Socks


What does dad socks mean?


◻️Unfashionable socks often worn by dads

Dad socks are socks that are worn in an unfashionable manner, often with shorts and sandals or tennis shoes. These socks are often white tube socks that go halfway up a dad's calves.

While the term typically applies to socks worn in an unfashionable way, it may also refer to socks that are just plain ugly. Since dads usually care about comfort more than fashion, they are guilty of this fashion crime more than other people.


❓Example

🔘 SAHD


What kind of dad is a SAHD?


◻️Stay-at-home dad

A SAHD is a "stay-at-home dad," a father who stays at home and takes care of his child(ren). His full-time job is maintaining the house and the kid(s) in it instead of a full-time position out of the house (which his partner likely holds).

SAHD is similar to a SAHM, which is more common. However, the difference has waned due to the gender pay gap decrease and the influx of women in the workforce.
You will likely see the SAHD acronym in parenting forums, in messages, and on social sites like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. For example, you might text your recently let-go brother-in-law, "How's SAHD life treating you?"


❓Example
The number of SAHDs seems to be increasing lately.
Yeah, I saw a herd of them at the park on Wednesday afternoon.

🔘 Parennial



What is a parennial?


◻️A parent born between 1981 and 1996

A parennial is a millennial parent, which means they were born between 1981 and 1996, and most likely have one or more Gen Z or Gen Alpha kids. The name comes from the combination of "parent" and "millennial" and is not to be confused with the "perennial" flower.
Parennials rose to prevalence in the 2010s as most began parenting in the mid-to-late- 2010s. Many are raising kids side-by-side with technology, such as smartphones and tablets, and total immersion in social media, which is brand new territory compared to previous generations. Additionally, many parennials are parenting kids differently than previous generations, becoming more involved and protective.
You will likely see parennial online in parenting forums or hear the term used by a Gen Xer or boomer. Additionally, people may use parennial positively or negatively depending on how they view the parenting styles.


❓Example

My dad sneered at the way parennials coddle their kids.
Of course, he did. He raised himself because his dad was absent his whole life and his mom worked most of the day.

🔘 Get Oofed


What does get oofed mean?


◻️Get wrecked

Get oofed means "get wrecked." Roblox players, especially, use this term to jokingly mock other players and also people IRL.
Roblox is a free-to-play MMOG that allows players to play dozens of different types of online games within one game platform. While the game is largely silly and does not force players into contentious situations, play characters can die in Roblox. When a character dies, they make an "oof" sound, leading players to coin the phrase "get oofed" and use it in place of "get wrecked" or "get rekt" when they kill another player or witness that player's death.

If you interact with a Roblox player in real life (especially a younger one), they might tell you to "get oofed" when they beat you at chess, see you fall off a hoverboard, or realize how old you are. They may, however, regain some respect for you when they realize that you know what "get oofed" means.


❓Example
Ah, shoot, you sunk my battleship.
Oh yeah get oofed, Uncle Matt!

❓Example

🔘 Buzzkill


What is a buzzkill?


◻️Something that spoils a good mood

Buzzkill is when something abruptly ruins the good mood or vibe others are experiencing. For example, if a group of friends is having fun hanging out, and one of the friends reminds everyone that every heartbeat brings them closer to death, the friends might say, "Thanks for the buzzkill, Todd."

The term is well known, with people using it in just about every context, including in person, in messages, and online. Even if accidental, buzzkills are always a bummer and may come in various shapes and sizes. For example, an insult, a revealed secret, the arrival of a guest, or lousy weather all qualify as buzzkills.

Origin of buzzkill

It is unclear who first coined the slang term "buzzkill." But the word dates back to the early 1990s (at least) and comes from the purposeful or accidental killing of a high (often referred to as a "buzz").

❓Example
Who invited Jeff to the party?
IDK, but he's the biggest buzzkill.

🔘 Tweenager


What is a tweenager?


◻️A pre-teenager

A tweenager is a person who is a pre-adolescent youth on the verge of becoming a teenager. The "tween" is typically between the ages 9 and 12.
Tweenager originates from "between" which refers to the age range where a young person transitions from child to teenager status. It became popular in the early-2000s as a way to describe these strange and usually awkward years. A tweenager is going through, or just about to go through, puberty, which greatly influences their physical appearance and social awareness.

While it is most often used to describe the awkward pre-teenager years, it may also be used to describe the general youthfulness of a person, regardless of his or her age. He or she may act or look like an eternal youth and be dubbed a "tweenager."


❓Example
My lil sister just became a Tweenager yesterday.

🔘 Ratioed


What does ratioed mean on Twitter?


◻️Receiving many more replies than likes on your tweet

Ratioed is when your tweet gets a disproportionately high number of replies and retweets compared to likes. It is not a good thing because it indicates that a lot of people are disagreeing with what you said instead of liking it.

The term gained popularity in 2017 as a way to label a tweet as universally disliked by other Twitter users. The name comes from the actual definition of ratio in mathematics but specifically describes the relationship between comments and retweets to likes.

Since ratioed has such a negative connotation, it has become another way to say that a person has been owned or dommed. For example, when a person makes a great argument that destroys a person's stance, he ratioed him. It has also become a challenge on Twitter where people post a reply to someone's tweet in hopes of getting a lot more likes than the original tweet.

While the term is primarily used on Twitter, you may also see it on other social platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, when comments vastly outnumber the likes for a post.


❓Example
Wow, her tweet about the president got ratioed hard.
