11 Slang Words Only Cool People Use on the Reg

Comedy Central

It always takes the mainstream world a little bit of time to catch up to popular slang terms. While you might be ahead of the curve and already use words like "sus" and "extra," Oxford Dictionary has finally decided that words like "butthurt" and "hangry" are worthy of becoming official entries. These words aren't exactly new, but at least they're now recognized for how awesome sauce they are. See which ones made the cut and just hope that they don't become old tomorrow.

01

Beer o'clock and wine o'clock

It's always 5 o'clock somewhere, and shouting beer or wine o'clock means you are ready and willing to get sipping.

02

Manspreading

Any man who openly spreads his legs so wide that he takes up two seats on public transportation is committing the act of manspreading. Rude.

03

Awesome Sauce

If there aren't enough words in the world to describe how great you feel about something, awesome sauce might be your only hope.

04

Weak Sauce

On the flip side, anything that's lame or terrible is 100 percent weak sauce.

05

Bruh

Sometimes, bros need a new word to call each other and that is exactly what bruh is.

06

Mkay

Since texting "k" is way too mean, mkay is a nicer way of letting someone you are all right with whatever they said.

07

Hangry

Ever forget to eat lunch and suddenly feel compelled to hurt everything around you? That's what hangry (hungry + angry) is, and there's only one cure.

08

Mic Drop

If you've said something particularly incredible, you most likely want to make that known by dropping the mic. You won't actually drop a literal mic unless you carry one around in your pocket, but you will make the motion of doing it.

09

Rando

When someone rolls up to your group at a bar and tries to start talking to y'all, that is a straight-up rando person. Most of the time, randos are not good.

10

Pwnage

Nothing feels better than winning at something — and if you've totally crushed or humiliated someone, it was definitely pwnage.

11

Butthurt

Feeling super offended by something someone said? Yeah, you're feeling real butthurt.
