🔘 Manspreader


What does manspreader mean?


◻️A guy who sits with his legs spread wide

A manspreader is a male who sits with his legs spread in a very wide stance. He is commonly seen on a subway, bus, airplane, and park bench.

Manspreaders may sound harmless but can wreak havoc in many ways. One of the biggest negatives of a manspreader is when space is at a premium, such as a busy restaurant or subway car, and his wide stance prevents others from sitting down. Public campaigns have been launched to increase awareness of this epidemic but many men have staunchly defended their position citing male biological reasons.


❓Example
These manspreaders have to be stopped! I counted at least 3 people that couldn't sit on the bench at the bus stop.

🔘 Poser


What does poser mean?

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

🔘 Clout Chaser


What is a clout chaser?


◻️A person who does things just to become popular

A clout chaser is someone who does and says things for the purpose of becoming more popular. It is primarily used in reference to people on social media that are desperate to gain fame and followers.

The term became popular in 2016 as a way to call out "fake" people who pretend to be something they are not so they can get more attention.While it originated within the hip-hop music industry, it has since become most prevalent on social media sites, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat.

On social media, clout chasers might share photos to promote their fake lifestyle. Or they may pretend to be someone else to become friends with a famous person that has more clout.

There has been some criticism of the term since people have begun calling anyone who wants to be successful a clout chaser. The difference between people that just want to be successful and clout chasers is that clout chasers are willing to give up their identity and be fake just to get fame.


❓Example
Wow, she just posted a cray thirst trap.
OMG, she's such a clout chaser.

🔘 WFH


What does it mean to 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


What is 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.
