Skibidi, sigma and slay: the most popular kids’ slang – and what it means
Share:
According to Oxford University Press, these three words are beloved of kids. Unfortunately, one makes no sense whatsoever. Name: Kids’ slang. Age: Far too young for you. Appearance: Genuinely impenetrable. And a hearty cowabunga to you too. I’m sorry old timer, but things have moved on. Children these days speak in slang so unintelligible that you would barely recognise it as words.
Don’t have a cow, man! Please stop embarrassing yourself like this. Sorry. You were saying? The Oxford University Press has revealed the top three kids’ slang words of the year. They are slay, sigma and skibidi. I know slay. Everyone knows slay. In terms of youth slang, slay is positively geriatric. You’ll meet 40-year-olds who say “slay” whenever they see something particularly impressive. And then you will see several dozen 12-year-olds wither up and die with embarrassment because an old person has just done something cringe.
Cringe. Is that another piece of youth slang? It was 30 years ago, you fossil. This is really starting to hurt. OK, I’ll go easy on you. What does sigma mean?. Finally, the Greek alphabet! My specialty! I’ll stop you right there. It means good. Does it? Sort of. Specifically, it’s a quality a person has. If they are a strong and self-reliant lone wolf – but a cool lone wolf, whom lots of people like – then they are sigma.
