So, today I want to focus on the forever evolving world of slang. It’s a new decade and of course, the only thing that hasn’t changed is the consistency of change in how we communicate with each other. Each and every generation has its own group of words and phrases that are pretty exclusive to each and every generation. Whether you’re a millennial, Gen Xer, or baby boomer trying to stay up to date — or a Gen Zer in need of a refresher — here’s a handy list of popular slang terms and the correct way to use them all.
