Eyebrows on fleek– Is a phrase stating that one’s eyebrows are perfectly shaped.
Bae– It is pretty much the word Babe without the second ‘b’. It is what one person calls a love of theres.
Club going up– Phrase originated from Drakes song ‘Tuesday’. Meaning one is about to go party at the club.
Doe– One meaning is a synonym for money, the second meaning is simply a shorter less educated version of the word ‘though’. It is used in this common question, “What up doe?”
Barely– Originated from a video of a women getting arrested. She claimed she couldn’t see and she is legally blind. The police officer asked if she could see and she simply replied ‘Barely’.
Squad– Another word for friends, family, clique, etc.
Thirsty– No this words meaning doesn’t mean someone is thirsty for a cold beverage, but they are thirsty for the opposite gender.
YEET– Originated from a vine of a chubby kid named Tario. In one of his vines he simply said ‘YEET’ and people thought it was the funniest thing ever.
#Alexfromtarget– Is about a kid from Texas who worked at Target and his name was obviously Alex. Girls’ mouths drooled over him and started tweeting about him, hence the hashtag. In my opinion he wasn’t even that attractive.
Sharkeshia– Originated from a video of a women aggressively beating up another women. The woman’s friend yelled in the background of the video, “SHARKEISHA NOO!!”
Ebola– A serious disease from Africa that spread to America. People started over using the word ebola. There is no special meaning for this word it was simply just over used for the wrong reasons.
About a week ago– Originated from one of Bobby Shmurda’s songs. It was catchy. The meaning is approximately 7 days ago, more or less.
Er muh gerd– An annoying less educated version of ‘Oh my god’.
“My absolute favorite word to say is ‘barely’ because I love saying it in a funny voice, it cracks me up!” sophomore Savanah Davis. “One phrase I do hate is #alexfromtarget because he got famous for nothing and it’s completely pointless.”
2014 was the year when speaking ‘Slang’ defiantly came into trend. Some people can say they love how 2014 was pretty much evolutionary and an outbreak, but others may not agree.
“My favorite phrase is squad, because I miss my friends in Lincoln,” sophomore Braxton Adrian. “But my least favorite is swag, it’s just annoying.”
I personally think that these 2014 phrases and words were both good and bad. Good because while talking you can add some humor and comedy into your speaking. Bad because some people get so used to speaking that way, that it interferes with their everyday life.
For example It would make people sound less educated and actually quite ridiculous. In some situations they are just straight up ANNOYING!
“YOLO is a word people use to try to sound cool, but they are actually just annoying and I hate it!” junior Carlos Guerrero, “I do like the word Fleek, It’s just fun to say!”
2014 was the year of being Young and Reckless, what will 2015 be the year of?
