現在歐美的青少年、Z世代 (Generation Z,指約15~25歲的人)都會使用別樹一格的新社群用語,其中有不少用法都讓人摸不著頭緒。
如果你也不太清楚extra, periodt, snatched, Big Yikes是甚麼意思,那麼這篇文章將幫助你看懂最新最潮的社群用語,讓你一秒上手!
Big Yikes
Yikes是一種感嘆詞,表達尷尬的情緒。而Big Yikes則是yikes的加強版,表達更加令人震驚、尷尬的感覺。
e.g. A: I thought I was posting it to my finsta(小帳) but it went to my actual account.
B: YIKES.
A: Even worse: Now my friend knows I was with her boyfriend last night.
B: BIG YIKES.
Bet
Bet有不同意思,它可以表達「沒問題」、「好」、「是」肯定用法;不過當有人對你發起挑戰時,回答Bet代表「看好了」、「我們拭目以待」的意思。
e.g. A: Hey, I got your text message. See you at the club later.
B: Bet.
e.g. A: You're not going to come to the party tonight. You never come to these types of events.
B: Alright, bet.
Cap / No Cap
Cap表示說謊、謊言,No cap表示真實、說的是實話。
e.g. All you do is cap, there's nothing real about you.
Extra
當你用extra形容一個人,表示這個人太戲劇化、太過頭、太誇張了。
e.g. She celebrated her birthday for an entire month. She's so extra!
Periodt
Periodt 通常會放在一句話的最後,那句話大多是一段看法、聲明,而periodt的意思可以理解為「就是這樣、句號」,periodt是period的加強版,使用這個詞可以加強語氣、強調論點。你有時也會看到有人寫''and that's on periodt.'',這也是通用用法,只是單一個詞periodt更方便、給人更俐落的感覺。
e.g. I don't want to hear anything else about what I'm doing wrong until you find ways to get yourself right, periodt.
e.g. This is the best movie of all time, and that's on periodt.
Snatched
這個詞有兩個意思,一個意思是形容人的穿著很時髦、看起來狀態很棒;另一用法則是在爭論中針對立場站不住腳的一方進行的嘲諷。
e.g. That outfit is snatched, you look so good.
e.g. A: Then I said, "by the way, everything you said and stand for is wrong, and I can't even believe people as ignorant as you exist".'
B: Oop, snatched.
Salty
Salty可不只有「鹹」的意思喔!在青少年的用語中也代表臉色難看、對某些小事覺得很煩很沮喪。
e.g. You look really salty right now. What happened?
Sksksksk
Sksksksk是甚麼意思?!跟蛇有關嗎?千萬別誤會了,這是表達情緒高張的用法,想要表達自己興奮到極點以至於不知道還可以說甚麼的感覺就可以使用Sksksksk喔!
e.g. A: Are you going to the party tonight?
B: SKSKSKSK YES!
Tea
當別人跟你提到tea,他們可能不是想跟你大聊特聊茶的事情喔!Tea也有八卦的意思,spilling the tea則是聊八卦的行為!
e.g. Spill the tea, what did he say?
e.g. Last night was a mess. Here's the tea.
