As 'Skibidi' Joins The Dictionary, How Much Teen Slang Do You Know?

Slang and buzz words made popular by the youngest generations have been enshrined in the dictionary. Cambridge Dictionary said it has added skibidi – which has different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning as a joke – as a new word.The online dictionary said phrases like “What the skibidi are you doing?” and “That wasn’t very skibidi rizz of you” have entered mainstream usage. In October last year, Kim Kardashian even posted a video on social media showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with the phrase ‘Skibidi Toilet’ (the name of an animated brain rot series on YouTube).According to Mashable, skibidi is “an onomatopoeia derived from the lyrics of ‘Give It to Me’ by Timbaland. When sped up, the chorus lyrics ‘so give it to me, give it to me’ sound like ‘skibidi’”. Huh!Delulu (a play on the word delusional) and lewk (used to described someone’s impressive outfit choice) also made the cut.Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary, said: “It’s not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary.“We only add words where we think they’ll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary.”Here are some other Gen Alpha/Gen Z slang words you’ve probably come across...1. Six-sevenPopular with kids right now, the saying seems to have originated from the drill rap Doot Doot (6 7) by Skrilla. It has since become incredibly popular on TikTok.According to Parents: “Some say it means ‘so-so’, especially since kids often pair the phrase with an up-and-down hand motion. Others argue it refers to a person who is tall, some think it stands for a basketball term, and so on.”2. ChoppedIn Gen Z and Gen Alpha speak it either means “ugly” or is increasingly used to describe anything that they don’t like. (So basically, “that’s chopped” is now the 2025 equivalent of “that sucks”.)3. BopUsed as an offensive term to call someone else, usually girls or women, promiscuous.4. HuzzIn a similar vein to bop, TikTok creator and teacher Philip Lindsay said huzz is “a replacement for hoes”. The teacher added that “in it’s most innocent form – meaning it’s a kid that doesn’t really understand what they’re saying – it’s used to reference a group of girls or a group of women”. But a lot of kids are aware of “the true meaning” of the word, he noted.5. Crash outInitially, crash out – as defined by Urban Dictionary – described “going insane and/or doing something stupid”.But over time crash out has evolved to become an all-encompassing term for “the unfiltered actions of a person who is angry, anxious, confused, stressed out, or experiencing mental health issues”, according to Vox.6. TuffThe general consensus on social media is it’s like a compliment – it can be used to describe something that’s really cool, awesome or even impressive.Although there are also some who might use it in a very different way, for example, saying “damn that’s tuff” in a similar vein to how you’d say “too bad” or “that’s unfortunate”.7. AuraKids increasingly use this to describe how cool or uncool something (usually a person) is. As Mr Lindsay previously explained in a TikTok video: “You can gain aura by doing something cool. You can lose aura by doing something uncool.”8. OhioMerriam-Webster suggested Ohio – as in, the state in the United States – is used to describe something as “weird, awkward, cringeworthy, or otherwise undesirable or bad in some way”. The online dictionary said the term can also be used to mean boring or foolish.9. Glazing Glazing is basically “overhyping someone”. The online dictionary Merriam-Webster explained further that the word glaze or glazing – aka showering someone or something with excessive praise – usually carries “a note of disapproval”.“The word is often used in online fandoms of sports, movies, anime, etc., to suggest not just that someone’s praise is over-the-top, but that it is unwarranted, and even annoying to the individual who does not like the person/thing being glazed,” added the dictionary.Consider yourself up to speed.
