Every generation has its own slang. People in the ’90s had ‘fly.’ Boomers threw around words like ‘groovy’. Folks in the 1920s were all about the ‘bee’s knees.’ And did you know that even the Victorian era had its own quirky phrases?

So, this younger generation is no exception. One of the main influences behind their lingo is social media, especially TikTok. This platform brought a whole new batch of slang words – from ‘brain rot’ to ‘Roman Empire.’

This quiz will test how many of these 28 terms you actually understand. Let’s see if you could keep up a conversation with the kids these days! 📱

    Some things really aren't 'Tiktok', it existed with that meaning outside of it as well

    I don't have TikTok, but I do have nine grandcritters, and we talk/interact a LOT! I got 22 of 28, but about half that I got right, I just guessed at and got right. LOL

    Don’t use the app heavily but got a reasonable score at 20. Maybe it’s because I work with a bunch of youngsters.
