If you’re over the age of 35, savage, extra, clapback, bae, and lit may sound like gibberish.
But ask the average millennial or Gen Z-er and they’ll tell you it’s basic vocab you need to know!
Dropping slang is not a new concept. Your parents did it, your grandparents did it, and yes, even your great-grandparents were doing it too.
So, what buzzword was the most popular the year you were born? We’re so glad you asked!
