Michigan Kids Are Redefining Slang And Leaving Adults Confused
With the way that kids in Michigan and around the country talk now, it’s no wonder that old people like me are going to Google and trying to look up what the hell it is that kids are even saying anymore.
Now I’m not trying to have an “old man yells at cloud “ moment, I just legit have zero understanding of what it is kids are even talking about anymore. Luckily for us, we have search engines like Google, which make it a little bit clearer to us what these numbers and slang terms even mean.
Unscramblerer just recently released the top 10 slang terms that are being searched on Google in Michigan, and I guarantee none of you will have any idea what any of these mean.
Luckily, the definition is being provided. The crazy thing is that some of these aren’t even words, but numbers. Strap yourself in, because it’s about to get weird:
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. Chopped - this term has become a synonym for something that is ugly, undesirable, or unattractive.
3. Sigma - refers to an independent, self-reliant person who operates outside traditional social hierarchies, often described as a 'lone wolf.'
4. Sendy - going all in and pushing your limits(getting sendy). Refers to committing to something and going for it. The term originates from "send it". It is used in many situations like confidence, food, and even style.
5. Sybau - Shut your b---h ass up.
6. Clanker - is a derogatory term for robots and AI technology. An example would be "having to talk to a clanker" which would mean talking with a chatbot.
7. 41 - refers to absurdity humor. Very similar to the 6-7 slang term that has no real meaning. So 41 is essentially the new 6-7. The term originates from a rapper called Blizzy Boy and became a viral meme.
8. Huzz - refers to an attractive girl or a group of girls. A replacement for 'boo' and 'pookie'. Somebody you want to impress. This slang had a more derogatory meaning, 'h--s', but that has changed.
9. Syfm - expressing disappointment when someone has failed to notice something important (so you f---ing missed).
10. PMO - depending on the context, this term refers to "Put me on"(introduce me to something new) or "Pisses me off".
