(WJW) – With the rise of social media, slang expressions can spread rapidly among Gen Z, often leaving slightly older generations puzzled.
A recent list, released by Unscrambler.com, revealed the most searched for slang words in America based on an analysis of Google search data.
The list placed “6-7” at the top of the list. Followed by “Bop” and “Mogging.”
Here’s what those terms mean, according to the online word tool:
1. 6-7 – The term six seven doesn’t have a literal definition. Its nonsensical nature is intentional, serving as an example of “brainrot” humor that finds amusement in randomness. This phrase comes from the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla. A popular video by basketball player LaMelo Ball about being 6 feet 7 inches tall, set to the song, started the trend. Young people frequently shout it, often accompanying it with dramatic hand movements.
2. Bop – A term used to describe someone with numerous sexual partners, suggesting they “bop” from one person to another. It can also refer to someone who portrays themselves in a provocative manner online. The word has derogatory connotations and is often used in cyberbullying.
3. Mogging – To outshine another by being more attractive, skilled, or successful. It’s closely related to another trending term, “looksmaxxing,” which carries a similar meaning.
Additionally, “Ohio” stands out as a popular slang search, ranking number 13 nationally and number 3 in Ohio. As per unscrambler.com, Ohio signifies anything “strange or absurd.”
Here’s how Merriam-Webster defines ‘Ohio’ as a slang term:
Ohio is predominantly used online to label something as weird, awkward, cringeworthy, or undesirable. It may also denote something “boring” or “foolish.”
