Members of The Brand have gathered a short list of terms that teens use on a daily basis. In hopes of helping adults understand “teen-speak,” they have been defined and used in a sentence below. However, given how fast words rise and fade within the teen vocabulary, by the time you read this, there is a good chance they are not being used anymore.
1. Bae: bae stands for “before anything else”. A “bae” is a noun; it is commonly used to describe a boyfriend/girlfriend, or a widely popular celebrity that one is obsessing over.
“Me and the bae are going to the movies tonight!”
2. Yeet: Yeet is a term of excitement, usually used in place of “yeah”.
“It’s almost Christmas break. YeetYeet!”
3. The overuse of the words ‘like’ and ‘literally’: These are two words that probably won’t fade out of our vocabulary anytime soon. To use these in a sentence, just insert ‘like’ almost every other word, and use the word ‘literally’ incorrectly.
“I like, literally just like, died.”
