Like society, language is changing and as the years go by, the way we communicate and express ourselves also evolves. Furthermore, those who usually introduce changes are the younger generations and social networks are a great showcase of new forms of communication among the youngest of the house. It is not unusual to be listening to a conversation between two teenagers or twenty-somethings and feel like they are speaking another language, but here we shed some light on their most common expressions.

Now that Christmas is approaching and the youngest and oldest members of each family tend to get together, some will feel that they have to catch up with the expressions that are in fashion and not get lost in a conversation full of acronyms and abbreviations. For this reason, laSexta offers a dictionary of the most used expressions on social networks for generation Z. It should be noted that many of the terms come from english But here all the details are explained so as not to get lost at the Christmas Eve dinner of these holidays.

  • PEC: It is a slang used by young people and is an acronym for the expression ‘in the ass’ or ‘I put it in the ass’. Although before it was said ‘fuck it’ in a negative way, now these expressions and the acronym are used to refer to something that is good or that they like.
  • Serve pussy: This expression is a translation of the phrase ‘serving cunt’. It comes from LGTBIQ+ circles and serves to express that you feel powerful without remorse and in a very feminine way.
  • NPC: This acronym comes directly from the world of video games and literally refers to the non-playable character. In a video game this would be a non-player, in English, and on consoles it refers to a character that is not a player and usually has automatic behavior. However, when young people use it they are referring to someone no personality.
  • APS: This acronym is simpler because it comes from ‘friends forever’ and is used to refer to a very close friendship.
  • Mother/Mother/mother: This term is usually used to describe an opinion leader or when someone has said something that they consider
  • Slay: This in English means to kill and in youth slang it refers to when something is destroyed or when it overflows. It is used when you really like something about that person, for example, how he is dressed or, if we take him to our field, how he has chained a block. Slay! You’ve hit the nail on the head.
  • Lore: This expression also comes from video games and refers to the story behind a person: where they were born, what their family was like, etc.

This is a selection of terms but there are also more words that belong to youth slang such as ‘hate’, ‘cancel’ ‘gossip’ or ‘y la queso’.
