“Unlock the Secret Language of Gen Z: 10 Phrases That Could Give Away Your Age!”
Ah, youth! It’s a strange, slippery thing, don’t you think? We strut around declaring how ‘cool’ we are, yet deep down, we might be just a few phrases behind the latest trends—cue the internal panic! When was the last time you felt spirited enough to decode the wild linguistic gymnastics of Gen Z? For some of us, keeping our cool quotient intact while navigating the rapidly shifting tides of slang feels like trying to do the Macarena in a hip-hop dance-off—tricky and quite the spectacle! Recently, a bunch of us millennials had our hearts sink as we stumbled upon a list of ‘banned words’ in Gen Alpha classrooms. It was like peering into an alternate universe. To add a sprinkle of clarity (or perhaps a touch of dread), we turned to none other than ChatGPT to compile a list of Gen Z lingo that might just reveal our age! Buckle up, folks—it’s time for a linguistic showdown! LEARN MORE.
Yeah, sure, we’re still young. We’re still ‘cool’ and ‘down with the kids’. But let’s be honest, if we’re saying stuff like that then we probably aren’t as young as we think.
And it does feel like there’s more and more slang circulating that we don’t understand. Like, at all.
We might try and keep up with the latest phrases from TikTok or common responses that are doing the rounds but for some of us, it’s feeling harder and harder.
That very thing happened recently when millennials were left feeling old after seeing a list of ‘banned words’ in a Gen Alpha classroom.
So, to offer comfort for some and force others to face the harsh reality, we asked ChatGPT to put together a list of Gen Z phrases that may reveal your age if you don’t understand them.
Surely you know some of these. (Getty Stock)
Bet
I don’t know about you, but this really feels like more of a US phrase.
But anyway, it’s used to express agreement of confirmation of something – so similar to ‘okay’ or ‘sure’.
Cap/No Cap
No, it’s not about a hat. ‘Cap’ means to lie or exaggerate something. And ‘no cap’ therefore means that you’re being serious or truthful.
Lit
Now surely we all know this one, to be honest, it almost seems old to me.
And if not, it’s something that’s ‘fire’ you know, fun, exciting or excellent.
Slay
Ok, maybe more of us are more Gen Z than we thought. Often shouted in response to someone ‘slaying’ it’s for when someone does something exceptionally well or looks absolutely amazing.

Vibe Check
This one feels more self-explanatory. A vibe check is essentially when you’re assessing the mood or energy of a person or situation.
Simp
Not exactly a phrase you want throwing at you, this is someone who shows excessive sympathy or attention towards someone else and often without any reciprocation.
Drip
Again, one that feels a little old, this is all about clothing – the kind of phrase rappers would use, you know?
It refers to somebody’s style or fashion, particularly if it’s impressive or trendy.
Sus
Oh, you know this one. It’s literally short for ‘suspicious’ and is often used to describe to a person acting shady or untrustworthy.
Bussin’
This is another great one, it describes food that is exceptionally good or delicious.
FOMO
Oh, come on, this is for us ‘older people’ right?
We all know it means fear of missing out – that anxiety of not being included in something exciting or interesting.
Well, there you have it lads, according to AI, if you somehow don’t understand those phrases – you’re officially old.
