Publisher's summary

Gen-Z slang is everywhere, there’s no point denying it. It’s not like Klingon, either. You can’t ignore it into oblivion. It’s here to stay.

Pop culture, digital marketing, movies, TV shows, books, and the entire internet in general is affected by this evolved diction. Words that previously had no meaning, words like "yeet" and "okurr", are now not only being recognized by and large by a whole demographic, but are also being used as part of their daily vocabulary.

This book, although not exhaustive, serves to help you understand and decode popular Gen-Z slang terms, tries to explore their rich history, and aims to make you become better versed in the colloquial speech of the young and trendy.

We’ll discuss possible origins of this language, how internet culture influenced the formation and propagation of these quirky phrases, and then, we’ll take a look at some of the most popular and common terms, catchphrases, and codewords out there.

We shall also go through Gen-Z’s dating slang, with commentary on how the modern landscape of myriad platforms and services has made what was once an arduous and romantic endeavor (dating) convenient, low-effort, and has simplified it to the point where it’s conventional to find someone online as opposed to being odd.

If you’re into history, if discovering the origins of things piques your curiosity, or if you’re simply looking to flex on the younger crowd that you know their terminologies and their secret language, this book will be a good primer for you while keeping things fun, casual, and light.

Loved it

This was a very relatable and handy listen. Having two boys that love to game and leave me in the dust with the conversation will now be in for an awakening. I will be using these terms and I can just imagine the look I am going to get.
The meme chapter cracked me up, the bonus chapter is so relatable.
This was fun.

Eye opening!

This book was good information and for a laugh (in the sense that I was laughing at myself for how out of date I am) I had no idea of all of the slang and what it meant 🤷🏼‍♀️. I didn’t think I was that old…anyway lots of new information.

This book is fire.

I know I used "fire" right because of this book. Right? In an attempt to seem less middle-aged, I downloaded this. It's just good fun. And, frankly, I needed the lessons. I don't want to get left behind!!! I still use the word, "rad." Great listen. Excellent narration. Fire, indeed.

Hilarious

What a fun read!!! This is so funny, and now I can understand what these teenagers are talking about—highly recommended if you have teenagers or want a fun, quick read and understand more of the younger generation.

Very interesting! Well worth it

The book really caught my eye, and it delivered as well! It feels like every new generation is so much different from the last, it's hard to keep up. Devon does a great job explaining this and teaching all the slang you need to know. The narration goes perfectly with the structure and all in all was a great listen.

NOW I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH MY TEENAGER! LOL

This was refreshing! You don't know how often I have been in a conversation and have NO clue what the slang being communicated means. Well, folks, you can sit back, listen, learn, and be able to speak back in GEN-Z SLANG!

Simply fantastic

Being a psychologist who works with teens and young people, I would often find myself struggling to understand some of the words they are using. This book for me has been a revelation. The narration is absolutely fantastic and I can't believe how many new terms and information I acquired! It made me laugh a few times as well which I loved!

Decode the Slang

This book was awesome, when I have conversations with my younger brother he uses a ton of these phrases, we are only 7 years apart but the slang barrier had me baffled lol. This will definitely help out with my understanding of our conversations!
