Updated on 7/14/2016 at 7:03 PM

Aziz Ansari's Netflix show, the brilliant — and now Emmy-nominated — Master of None, won us over for a lot of reasons: its brave tackling of casual racism and sexism, its throughly modern depiction of dating and relationships, and its dialogue. The funny scripts, cowritten by Ansari, feature so many pieces of slang invented by and used by Master of None's characters that we're grateful to be exposed to such terminology. Whether you're watching or not, we've rounded up the slang Master of None has exposed us to, so you can be cool and start using it too.
