Question

Did you know? Slang is informal language in a specific group. Teen slang changes every few years — "cool" (1920s), "groovy" (1960s), "rad" (1980s), "lit" (2010s), "rizz" (2020s). Generations that no longer "lit" are often eyed warily by teens. Adults using youth slang badly sound painfully out-of-date.
