By Lauren Jackson December 2, 2024 Published in the November-December 2024 issue of Sarasota Magazine

Ohio

Weird, random or boring

Rizz

Charisma

The Rizzler

One who possesses impeccable rizz

Skibidi

Based on an online meme, “skibidi” does not actually mean anything, but is fun to say while trolling cringey millennials

No cap

“No lie” or “for real”

Sus

Suspicious

Opp

Opposition or opponent

Aura

A ranking of how cool or uncool something is, or can be used to describe the vibes—e.g. “I’m losing aura points by the minute” or “This place has negative 1 million aura”

Ate

Praise for a job well done—e.g. “Did you see Sabrina Carpenter’s fit on SNL? She ate.”

Bussin

Very good or flavorful, most often used to describe food

Fanum tax

Food theft between friends, but increasingly just general stealing

GOAT

The greatest of all time

Flex

Showing off—e.g. “Weird flex, bruh”

Mid

Mediocre

Sigma

Someone who is cool without trying to be cool and who doesn’t care if they’re cool

Mewing

Pressing your tongue to the top of your palate to create a more defined jawline

Note: Non-Gen Alpha citizens should flex the above lingo sparingly to avoid negative infinity aura points. No cap, being a millennial who says “skibidi” is mid, bruh.
