New trendy words

    1.   to touch grass: Definition 1. used when someone is acting/being weird, stupid, or pointless. it means they need to come back to reality, they need to get some fresh air and get back in touch with how the real world works.

Definition 2: to “go outside.” It’s usually used in an insulting way to imply that someone spends too much time online, perhaps posting on social media or losing at video games, and that they should go outside for once—or at least away from other people!

 

    2.   the ick: In dating culture and on TikTok, the ick refers to a sudden feeling of disgust or revulsion toward a person, usually one’s date. Almost anything can cause someone to feel the ick, such as the way a person dresses, the way they smell, or the way they treat a server. But once you catch the ick, you’re basically done with the other person.

 

    3.   menty b: Menty b is a cutesy shortening of the much more serious phrase mental breakdown; a stressful situation
