We all do it. We see the occasional Twitter post filled with catchy slang words. It's easy to get sucked into this so-called "slang world". Next thing you know suddenly every sentence has one of these b*stards sneaking in. It's not too late to kick this nasty habit. As a society, we should all agree to grow up and use real appropriate words. I despise walking around campus hearing things such as "Let's turn up tonight fam," which I kid you not I heard hours before writing this. Please let's set these wretched slang words aside and just stop creating these sayings and use real words that belong in the dictionary.
These words are absolutely horrible and they need to go away. Forever.
1. Bruh
This word gets me so heated. Remember the whole "Bro, make me a sandwich" epidemic which eventually flustered into: Brah, Bra, Bruh, Bro. All of these need to stop.
2. Yas
I honestly do not understand the purpose of "YAS." It is literally one letter different. Just be an educated human and use the word yes.
Alternative: If someone asks you a question simply respond with yes.
3. Turn Up
My friends absolutely love to use this phrase and overtime it has become an everyday saying for them. Please end this "turn up" phase. I do admit it is addicting to say but please for the future generations, stop.
4. On Fleek
2015 was the year of "On Fleek." Eyebrows were on fleek, selfies were on fleek, even babies are seen saying this phrase all over social media. Is this really what we want to be teaching our children? How about teaching them real academic vocabulary words rather than... "on fleek."
5. Anything followed with "and chill"
We all know what it means. Stop saying it. It's demeaning and promotes hookup culture and honestly, we are all just tired of hearing it.
