🔘 Poser
◻️A person who pretends to be someone they are not
A poser is a person who tries to fit into a group of people not because they actually like them but because they just want to be accepted into the group. Posers are most common in middle and high school when kids are searching for their identity and want to be accepted.
Posers try to integrate into a group of friends by learning the lingo, wearing specific types of clothing, and changing their mannerisms. Some examples of groups of people posers try to appear as are jocks, goth punks, skaters, theater kids, and brainiacs.
The term is typically seen as negative since it is used to call out people who "talk the talk," but don't necessarily "walk the walk." Most people can detect a poser trying to fit in so it's better to just be yourself, instead of pretend to be someone you are not.
❓Example
That guy looks like he's never even been on a skateboard, what a poser.

🔘 Finsta
◻️Fake Instagram account
Finsta is an abbreviation for finstagram, which is a fake Instagram account. It is used as a secondary, or alternate, account to be more private.
Finstas allow users to be more authentic on their Instagram and escape the pressures of expectations from their main account. Finsta users can post unattractive pictures or post inside jokes to their smaller and closer group of followers. Since the account is locked, finstas enable the user to screen her or his followers and give permission to followers as to what they can see, which is especially attractive for female users.
❓Example
I think I'm gonna create a finsta so I can be closer with my friends back home.

🔘 Instagram Husband
◻️A person who takes pictures of another person for Instagram
A term for a person who is used to take pictures, much like a selfie stick, of another person for the purpose of posting to Instagram.
The Instagram husband term is not exclusive to men as it can be applied to any person who is put in the position of personal photographer for another person, most likely a SO. The role requires a certain skill set such as the flexibility to get photos from awkward angles, stamina to take thousands of pictures, and an artsy eye to frame the picture.
❓Example
Tracy has turned Jeff into an Instagram husband as he's constantly taking pics of her.

🔘 Performative Activism
◻️Advocating a cause to gain social standing
Performative activism is when a person participates in an activist movement not because they believe in the cause but because they want to be noticed. The phrase became popular in 2020 during the George Floyd protests when celebrities were accused of joining in to gain followers rather than out of genuine commitment.
Fake activism often occurs online, especially on social sites like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok. Performative activists post messages saying they support a cause but do nothing else to actually support it (such as donating money or protesting IRL).
Faux activism is a theatrical act performed to appear "woke" to followers or the general public. For example, in 2020, Emma Watson posted multiple black squares to her Instagram account in support of Black Lives Matter (BLM), taking time to ensure her "activism" maintained her account's aesthetic.
Performative activism is similar to slacktivism, which combines "slacker" and "activism" and describes people who try to be activists but don't want to put forth much effort. Performative activists may also be called "posers."
❓Example
All these influencers are showing their true colors with their performative activism.
Yeah, I saw one person selling a BLM shirt with her brand on it.

🔘 WFH
◻️Work from home
WFH is an acronym that stands for "Work from home" or "Working from home." The acronym describes an occupation that allows an employee to conduct his or her work at home instead of the office.
Since the Internet allows users to work on and complete tasks remotely, WFH jobs around the globe have increased. These jobs may allow you to work full-time or a couple of days a week or a month.
WFH jobs are helpful in times of emergency, as well, like in the case of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak around the world. As governments implemented social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of the virus, a large percentage of the workforce was sent home to WFH (and some even chose to move to Zoom towns).
In order to effectively WFH, you need to have a certain skill set because it is very easy to get distracted when working where you live. You may get sidetracked by a spouse or kids, or by chores, like doing the laundry or washing dishes. Therefore, if you want to WFH, it's best to have a secluded space, like an office, where you can stay focused on your work tasks.
❓Example
My job is now WFH due to COVID-19.
That's cool that you get to be at home with the fam.
Yeah, but my kids don't understand the "work" part.

🔘 Quiet Quitting
◻️Only doing the minimum requirements for a job
Quiet quitting is a trend that became popular in 2022, where employees choose only to do the minimum requirements for their job instead of going above and beyond. The movement is partially the result of covid, The Great Resignation, and people's commitment to preserving their mental health.
Quiet quitters consciously choose to avoid the "hustle culture" to protect their personal lives, even if it means it may hurt their careers. Instead of working longer hours or picking up extra responsibilities, they only complete the required hours and tasks.
While people who quietly quit do it for themselves, the choice may affect others. For example, employers have to adjust their expectations of their employees' productivity, and co-workers may need to pick up the slack. While anyone may quietly quit, it is especially common among Gen zers and Millennials.
❓Example
Raul is quiet quitting his job because his boss keeps working him into the ground.
Wow, good for him.

Cyberslacking is when a person surfs the Internet during company time or uses his work email for personal reasons. It typically begins when taking a brief break from work but often extends into a longer period of scrollaxing.
Cyberslacking is believed to be one of the biggest wastes of a company's money because the productivity of the cyberslacker dips sharply. Some companies implement measures to prevent or reduce cyberslacking, such as the blocking of popular websites like Facebook or Twitter.
❓Example
We have to plan an intervention for Carol cause she's been cyberslacking real hard the past 2 weeks.

🔘 Rage Applying
◻️Applying to open job positions out of spite for your current job
Rage applying is when you are so furious with something that happened at work that you start applying to other open positions. For example, if your boss takes credit for the work you put into a presentation, you might head back to your desk, and rage apply to ten open positions.
While rage applying happened before 2023, the trend gained prominence in January 2023 as job transiency skyrocketed in 2020 when covid shook the world. Also, as Gen Zers have entered the workforce, they don't have the same allegiance to employers as previous generations. Additionally, they are more likely to prioritize their mental health over their career, making it easier for them to change jobs.
For some, rage applying is a fleeting moment that doesn't lead to a new job. Instead, it's a way to blow off steam, especially if they feel a need to be loyal to their employer. However, for others, rage applying leads to new jobs and opportunities and a chance at a better work environment and benefits.
Other job-related slang
Since we spend so much of our lives working, there is plenty of slang related to work. For example, quiet quitting and "The Great Resignation" are similar to rage applying. Also, there are plenty of acronyms, such as AWLTP, B2W, GBTW, and BFAW.
❓Example
I can't stand it here anymore. Too much gossip and toxicity. After my break, I'm gonna rage apply on Indeed.
About time! Let me know if you need help with your resume.

◻️Talk to you later
TTYL is commonly used when texting and messaging online to say, "Talk to you later" at the end of a conversation. It is one of several variations, including "TTUL," "T2UL," and "t2ul8r."
Most people send it to others they think they will talk to again at another point in time, such as a friend or acquaintance. They may have just ended an online gaming match or need to go into a meeting and can't talk until later.
TTYL is ambiguous since "later" is very subjective. It could refer to a period of time in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months. You'll need to discern the immediacy of the "later" from the context of your conversation.
❓Example

🔘 Unforced Error
◻️An easily-avoidable mistake
An unforced error is a mistake a person made because they were careless, unfocused, or inattentive. This slang term is primarily used while discussing sports, to describe a misplay that a baseball, tennis, or badminton player could have avoided. Social media users may also use unforced error to describe mistakes made by companies, governments, celebrities, and politicians.
Where did unforced error originate?
Unforced error originated as and is still most popularly used as tennis slang. The term was coined in the 1920s, but it did not become popular until the 1970s and 80s. In 1982, Information and Display Systems began tracking players' unforced errors within their first-of-its-kind computerized tennis statistics system.
What are some example unforced errors?
The most common unforced error in tennis is double faulting on a serve. The serving player is in complete control of their serve and, theoretically, should always be able to avoid double faulting. They are never "forced" to double fault - thus double faulting is an "unforced" error. Other unforced errors include hitting easy shots on the wrong part of the racket, too early, or too late.
What is an example of a non-sports unforced error?
U.S. presidential candidates often commit unforced errors. For example, if a U.S. presidential candidate planned to visit a Wisconsin farm, but at the last minute changed their mind and visited a manufacturing hub instead, those who were hoping the candidate would court the agricultural vote may describe the change as an unforced error.
❓Example
He just forgot Valentine's Day? That's an unforced error of the highest magnitude.

🔘 Go Brrr
◻️Solve a problem
Go brrr is a phrase applied to a machine or other item that can be used to "simply" solve a problem. The phrase originated within memes that depicted the A-10 Warthog military aircraft "solving" problems by firing its powerful machine guns at them. (When firing, the Warthog's machine guns produce a "brrrt" sound.) However, the phrase went viral as part of 2020's widely-shared Money Printer Go Brrr meme, which depicted the U.S. Federal Reserve printing money to combat a predicted, rona-induced economic downturn.
Since then, a variety of "go brrr" memes have popped up online, and forum posters and social media users have begun using the phrase to call attention to simple actions that could solve (or "solve") a problem. Sometimes, "go brr" is used straightforwardly, to point out how simply a problem can actually be solved. Other times, "go brrr" is used sarcastically, to point out that a seemingly-simple solution is inadequate or could cause unforeseen consequences.
❓Example
No! You can't just run 30 minutes a day to get fit! You have to follow my 15-step diet and weight loss plan.

While social justice activism has been prevalent for centuries, the "SJW" acronym didn't gain prominent usage until the 2010s. It became popular on social sites online, like Twitter and Facebook, to criticize people who really care about social issues like civil rights and feminism.
The acronym is mainly used by socially conservative people to ridicule a progressive person's "outspokenness" about a social issue. It is also used to imply that the person wants attention or validation more than being led by actual convictions of social injustices.

🔘 Theybie
◻️A gender-neutral baby
A theybie is a baby that is being raised in a gender-neutral environment to protect against gender socialization. As the theybie matures, they can choose to identify as a male, female, or nonbinary (NB or Enby).
The purpose of raising kids as theybies is to not push them into gender stereotypes or roles and let them have full control over their identity. This parenting strategy includes no gender reveal party, gender-specific colors or decorations, clothes, or toys.
The "theybie" term became popular in 2018 and is a combination of "they" and "baby." It is primarily used by progressive parents looking to unburden kids with the expectation to behave a certain way or become something just because of their gender.
❓Example
Katie and Jon asked for no gifts for their theybie.

🔘 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.
