🔘 Griefer


What does griefer mean?


◻️An irritating player

In multiplayer video games, a griefer is a player whose primary objective is not to win, but to harass other players. Griefers go out of their way to troll their teammates and/or their opponents, by purposefully performing antagonistic behaviors.
Some examples of griefing include:

Playing incredibly slowly to waste other players' time

Purposefully killing teammates with friendly fire

Stealing other players' items or kills

Destroying other players' creations in sandbox games (like Minecraft)

❓Example
What a griefer, the admin needs to block this DA!

🔘 Banger


What is a banger?


◻️An awesome, energetic piece of media

People typically use the term banger to refer to a high-energy, tightly-crafted song. Bangers are often but definitely not always pop songs, featuring highly infectious beats. Whatever the genre, the true mark of a banger is that it makes listeners want to get up and dance - or at the very least, bang their head in time with the music.

Over time, Internet users have expanded banger's meaning such that it can be applied to almost any form of media. For example, a fan of Adventure Time might say a very good episode of that show is a banger. In this sense, banger now means "awesome" or "a classic," in addition to its original, music-specific meaning.

Other meanings of banger
The word banger has a few other meanings, which are used less frequently than the one described above. For instance, in the UK, banger is another word for "sausage." Also, those discussing members of a gang may refer to the gang members as "bangers," which is short for "gang bangers." Context should help you sort out whether you're discussing media, sausage, gangsters, or something else entirely.


❓Example
Did you put on the new Janelle Monáe single yet? What a banger!

🔘 Stunad


What is a stunad?


◻️An unintelligent person

A "stunad" is a person who lacks common sense (otherwise known as "stupid" or even "crazy"). It is a derogatory term people (typically Italians) may utter when annoyed by someone making stupid decisions.

For example, if your brother borrows money from you and gambles it away, you might say, "I can't believe I lent that stunad any money." Or, if your friend gets hit by a reckless driver, she might exclaim, "That stunad nearly killed me because she was texting and driving!"

Origin of stunad

The slang term "stunad" originates from Italian-American immigrants. Stunad (or "stunod") comes from "stonato" (or "stunat" or "stunatu" depending on the language variation), an Italian word for "out of tune." It became slang for people who were out of tune with the rest of the world, whether it be in an unintelligent or crazy manner.


❓Example
Do you remember Roger from high school?
Yeah, that guy was such a stunad. He almost got me killed once. Why?
We just got engaged.

🔘 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.

🔘 Bimbo


What does bimbo mean?


◻️A dumb and attractive female

A bimbo is a female who is not very bright but attractive. It is commonly used to refer to a blonde woman who has a lot of beauty but no brains.

The term has been around since the early 1900s in the U.S. and was used to describe dumb and primal-behaving men. However, the term evolved over time to describe women who put more time into their appearance instead of their intelligence. Bimbos usually wear a lot of makeup and skimpy clothing and aren't smart. The bimbo term is very similar to the airhead term.


❓Example
Did you like Jeanine?
She was alright but she was kind of a bimbo.
Isn't that your type?

🔘 Poser


What does poser mean?


◻️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


What is finsta short for?


◻️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.

🔘 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.

🔘 BO


What does BO stand for?


◻️Body odor

People typically use BO when calling attention to someone's stinky body odor. For example, your friend Mike might text you "Sorry about my BO at lunch today; I came straight from the gym," to apologize for how unpleasant he smelled earlier. (It's too late to apologize now, Mike! We already had to smell you!)

BO is a fairly common acronym (and occurrence), so you may encounter it in text messages, on forums, and even on social media, when people are discussing body odor. Many of these discussions revolve around the "correct" way to tell someone who noticeably stinks about their bad BO.


❓Example
That guy has some serious BO! I can smell him from across the room.
