🔘 Wonky

What does wonky mean?

◻️Weird

When something seems strange or out of character, it is "wonky." For example, when you push down your car's accelerator and the car makes a clunking sound, you might tell your mechanic that it's acting wonky (and they will then roll their eyes).
It is unclear where wonky comes from, but some scholars say it dates back to the "wankul" word in Proto-West Germanic, which means "shaky or unstable." Over the years, the word has evolved into the non-technical "wonky" term, which people use when describing something off-kilter or behaving strangely.
Examples of things that may be wonky include a picture frame on a wall, any machinery, flooring, and bizarre food. Additionally, people acting odd may be wonky, like your uncle Bruno or that pirate Captain Jack Sparrow.


❓Example
The school cafeteria lunch looked a little wonky today, so I didn't eat it
I did and I'm regretting it

🔘 Broseph

What is a broseph?

◻️A male friend

Broseph is another way to refer to a male friend. The term combines bro and "Joseph" although you do not have to be named Joseph to be a broseph.
The term is often utilized in reference to a good friend but can be used to describe another male much like "dude." Broseph is commonly said by males that exhibit stereotypical male traits, such as lifting weights, playing sports, and going to the club to meet some shawties.


❓Example
Hey broseph, can you pass the salt?

🔘 GLHFTTYL

What does GLHFTTYL stand for?


◻️Good luck, have fun, talk to you later

GLHFTTYL stands for "good luck, have fun, talk to you later." Primarily, gamers use this acronym while signing off from online gaming sessions, to wish their fellow players good fortune.
More rarely, you might see people use GLHFTTYL to sign off from other chat and text conversations. In these instances, GLHFTTYL still means the same thing, but the HF portion of the acronym refers to whatever activity you're doing. (And yes, the person who sent you GLHFTTYL is likely a gamer.)


❓Example
GGs, WP. Gotta sign off GLHFTTYL
U2 CYL

🔘 NFT

What is an NFT?


◻️Non-fungible token

A non-fungible token, often referred to as an "NFT," is a unique digital asset that is part of a blockchain, usually the open-source Ethereum. It is primarily used to verify ownership of digital artwork sold and collected online.
NFTs increased in usage in 2020, partially because the Covid-19 pandemic limited the exchange of actual artwork. They are a form of currency on a blockchain, which is a type of database linked together like a chain using cryptography.
Blockchains provide helpful information about transactions that cannot be modified. They are also transparent, allowing users to view the transactions and recognize ownership of assets.
An NFT, which is part of a blockchain, functions similarly to a receipt that provides proof of a digital asset's purchase and ownership. Anything digital can be sold and collected as an NFT, but an NFT is primarily an image or video artwork.


❓Example
I just paid $15 for an NFT
Oh yeah, what did you get?
Katie's tweet about sandwiches
SMH, you're such a simp.
