(WJW) – Thanks to social media, slang terms can spread like wildfire among Gen Zers, but leave those in the slightly older generations scratching their heads.
A recent list, released by Unscrambler.com, revealed the most searched for slang words in America based on an analysis of Google search data.
The list placed “6-7” at the top of the list. Followed by “Bop” and “Mogging.”
Here’s what those terms mean, according to the online word tool:
1. 6-7 – There is no literal meaning to six seven. Its absurdity is the point, making it a prime example of “brainrot” internet humor where the randomness itself becomes funny. It originates from the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla. LaMelo Ball a basketball player created a trending video about being 6 feet 7 inches tall using the song. Kids and teens scream and chant it often paired with exaggerated hand gestures.
2. Bop – A person with many sexual partners (bops around from person to person). Someone who presents oneself online in a way that is thought of as immodest. A derogatory word often used in cyberbullying.
3. Mogging – outclassing someone else by appearing more attractive, skillful or successful. Looksmaxxing has a similar meaning that is also a trending slang word this year.
Also on the list of commonly searched slang terms is the word “Ohio,” which came in at number 13 nationally and number 3 in the state of Ohio. According to unscrambler.com, Ohio refers to anything that is “strange or absurd.”
Here’s how Merriam-Webster defines ‘Ohio’ as a slang term:
Ohio is used (mostly on the Internet) to describe something that is weird, awkward, cringeworthy, or otherwise undesirable or bad in some way. It can also be used to mean “boring” or “foolish.”
