Cracked.com-Know your memes
If you’re among those confused by the young people who laugh at Punchline 6-7 or use “mogging” as a compliment, we have two good news for you.
First of all, your confusion is a kind of point. Slang today is part of a ever-changing dictionary that separates young people from young minds. And secondly, you’re a little bit far away from joking.
Gen Zers’ social media and internet-influenced subculture is changing languages faster than elders can keep up.
According to Unscramblerer.com, an online tool used for word games like Scrabble, which pulls data from Google Trends searches, people who don’t live on Tiktok, Discord or Twitch sometimes have to rely on the internet to figure out what their children mean when using words and phrases that mystical elders.
But that’s not new, says linguists and others who study linguistic communication.
“Early people have looked at what young people have been saying for thousands of years,” said Jesse Shaydrower, a lexicon editor, educator, editor and author, who served as president of the American Dialects Association and helped edit the Oxford English Dictionary.
“The whole point is that it’s not for you,” he added. The essence of slang is that it constantly changes from generation to generation, and is often intended to confuse others. However, this does not mean that General Zers cannot communicate effectively. “Most young people know very well that the slang cannot be used in (academic) papers or professional settings. They know that there are different types of languages that are appropriate with different times and with different people.”
Much of Z’s slang comes from the internet, a spokesman for Uncramblerer said it’s not the same as the net corner that his parents use.
“The popular slang for 2025 continues to be heavily influenced by the Tiktok, Instagram, gaming, streaming, Gen Z and the Alpha Online community,” Randoh Sallihall said in an email explaining the meaning of the word. “Trends from social media spread rapidly through memes and virus challenges. Supported by technology, our language adapts to new slang trends more rapidly than ever.”
Unscramblerer analyzes Google Trends data to learn top searches. This is what they found.
6-7 It had the most searches, but it literally doesn’t make any sense. Instead, it is intended to be an absurd thing of brain-rot-influenced humor. Its origins come from Skrilla’s song (you might want to play it at a lower volume of a mixed company) and basketball player Lamelo Ball, who appears in the 6-foot, 7-inch-high viral video.
