🔘 OG
◻️Original gangster
OG stands for "original gangster," which is often used to honor someone who is really old or has been doing something for a really long time. It may also refer to someone who does gangster-type things, like standing up to authorities.
Technically speaking, an original gangster is a gangster who lived between the early- to late-1900s. In this context, OG refers to mobsters and drug lords who ran crime rings in the United States during this time. In this same context, but in more modern times, OG might describe a person who grew up in the streets as part of a gang or lives out a thug lifestyle.
However, OG may also be used in a lighter manner to reverentially refer to someone who has been doing something for a long time or is just really old. Your math teacher who has been teaching at your school since it opened 30 years ago may be considered an OG.
❓Example
Nah, he's totally an OG. You don't know him if you think otherwise

That's great to hear. LMK if you need anything

🔘 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!

🔘 Bruh
◻️Friend
Bruh is another way to refer to a friend (typically male) that is a variation of bro, similar to "dude." People often use it when exasperated or surprised by something someone (guy or girl) did or said. For example, your buddy may say something so stupid that all you can muster is "bruh" (like SMH).
Origin of bruh
Some sources date "bruh" back to the 19th century as a shortened form for "brother" (particularly in the Black community) that extended to the 20th century. It then gained a resurgence in the 1990s among laid-back skaters and surfers, along with brah and broham, as a way to address each other (typically in a friendly manner).
However, in the 2020s, teenagers and kids began using it confrontationally when reacting to something they disagreed with or were surprised about. For example, if a mom interrupts her kid's video game to tell him to clean his room, he might reply with, "Bruh!"
❓Example
bruh, wuts good?

◻️ChatGPT
Those discussing the AI chatbot ChatGPT may shorten the bot's name to CGPT. For example, you might see CGPT used in a forum post discussing ChatGPT's "conversational prowess," or a news article describing the chatbot's "factual errors."
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT (which is itself short for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) is a chatbot developed by OpenAI. When a user chats with ChatGPT, the bot uses algorithms to analyze a large database of original textual sources (including news articles, books, websites, and more), searching for text and patterns related to the user's message. It then uses the information and patterns it discovers to generate a response.
After CGPT was released in November 2022, nerds around the world began having conversations with the bot. They also used CGPT to write computer programs, stories, essays, emails, and other content, as well as answer factual questions. While CGPT is more advanced than its chatbot predecessors, it still has some flaws, including a tendency to "hallucinate" content - providing information that sounds convincing and correct, but is actually inaccurate.
❓Example
I got CGPT to tell me World War II is still happening the other day
I keep trying to get it to tell me its favorite ice cream flavor. No success so far

🔘 Bounce
◻️Return a card to a player's hand
In Hearthstone, Magic: The Gathering (MTG), and other CCGs, to bounce a card means to return it from the battlefield to its owner's hand. For example, the MTG card Unsummon allows you to bounce an in-play creature (and is MTG's most iconic bounce spell).
There are many reasons a player might want to bounce an in-play card (usually a minion or creature) to their own or their opponent's hand. When used on an opponent's creature, a bounce spell acts as a soft removal spell, buying time in which you can either defeat your opponent or topdeck a permanent answer to their creature. Using a bounce spell on your own creature can protect it from your opponent's removal or allow you to re-use the creature's Battlecry or "enters the battlefield" (ETB) ability.
What is the difference between a bounce spell and a blink spell?
In MTG, bounce spells and blink spells are similar yet different. A bounce spell returns a card to its owner's hand, while a blink spell causes a card to temporarily leave and then re-enter the battlefield. However, a blinked card never returns to its owner's hand and does not have to be replayed. This makes blink spells a better choice than bounce spells for abusing "enters the battlefield" abilities.

I'll bounce your Grizzly Bears with Echoing Truth and attack

🔘 Crunchy
◻️Natural and sustainable lifestyle
Crunchy is a lifestyle that prioritizes natural and sustainable living practices, such as eating organic food, composting waste, and using cloth diapers. The term comes from the crunchiness of granola, another label for people who embrace aspects of hippie-like alternative living.
The crunchy movement grew substantially in the 2010s, leading to many blogs and social media influencers (often moms) touting the lifestyle (promoting their products and concoctions). The community largely rejects mainstream food, products, and medicinal methods that the greater public has accepted. Instead of conforming, they do lots of "online research" to do what feels best for them.
Because they are so zealous about their lifestyle, they often protest the government and large pharmaceutical companies ("big pharma"). For example, they may refuse to vaccinate their kids and instead make natural home remedies for treating sicknesses.
❓Example
My mom is so crunchy. She only buys organic food and checks the chemicals in everything
My mom is the exact opposite. We had potato chips and hot dogs for dinner last night

🔘 MMB
◻️Message me back
If time is sensitive and you need a quick reply from someone, you can send them "MMB," which stands for "message me back." It is similar to WMB, and people primarily use it when messaging.
For example, when excited about a job promotion, you might text your partner, "I got the job!, MMB!" Or, your crush may have just asked you out, and you message your bestie, "DeShaun just asked me to dinner. MMB. Imma explode!"
Most instances of MMB are when a person is crunched for time. For example, there may be a window closing for purchasing tickets for an event, getting food orders, or an impromptu road trip. However, some people may use it just to communicate who they would like to receive a reply (e.g., by message instead of phone).
❓Example
I have huge news. MMB as soon as you get this msg!
What?!?
I got 2 tix to T Swift this Friday!!! Wanna go?
OMG! Yes!!

🔘 Snoozefeed
◻️ To scroll your newsfeed instead of getting out of bed
Snoozefeed is a term that refers to the act of scrolling through and browsing your newsfeed instead of getting out of bed. The term combines "snooze" and "news feed."
It's common to hit the snooze button in the morning when the alarm clock goes off. But instead of going back to sleep you get your phone or tablet out and scroll through your social media newsfeed.
❓Example
I actually woke up at 7 but I was snoozefeeding for about an hour

🔘 ICCL
◻️I couldn't care less
ICCL stands for "I couldn't care less." People use this acronym when they don't care about something you've said. (Hopefully, you weren't too invested in that thing.)
You're most likely to receive ICCL in text or chat messages, sent by disinterested friends, family members, or co-workers. However, because ICCL is a quite common acronym, you may also encounter it on forums and social media.
❓Example
How do you feel about Disney remaking The Lion King?
Honestly ICCL
