      Nah I think the pick me girl's main characteristic is that they're trying too hard with the boys, like, in a romantic way. They're trying to present themselves as 'not like other girls' and put down other girls because they have ulterior motives. If anything I would say the pick me girl is a subsection of the "not like other girls" girl. The latter just wants to stand out and feel unique and superior in general while the former wants to appear unique and special in order to attract boys

      I immediately understood the bug emojis when a friend of mine who’s a few years younger than me casually used them without explanation. To me, it’s a pretty obvious visual, but apparently that’s not true for everyone?
      Voting in favour of using the beaver emoji though, I loved all possible meanings. Just imagine situations in which multiple meanings could apply, the amount of ambiguity, ✨delicious✨!

    As a millennial, the best thing about Gen Z slang is that you can understand almost all of it just by having some context.

      @lol... 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it was too abstract to be jn the true spirit of gen z Ngl. Many emojis are used based on what they look like but not what they symbolise, and not really wordplay based on that. E.g. standing man emoji and Easter Island emoji. I could see it as a euphemism because internet things, but the other definitions weren't really great imho

      I remember people using the candle emojis on Twitter back when I was on there. It mostly depends on the community you were in. Like a lot of shipping ones would do a candle circle and try to manifest scenes between those characters. I’m not on Twitter anymore tho bc it was bad for my mental health so idk if it’s still used that much.

      Yeah…manifesting is a pretty old concept (dating at least as far back as the early 19th century new age/spiritualist movements). I stopped using the word because I realized the concept doesn’t align with my personal religious beliefs and I also did not want to encroach/appropriate another religion/belief system.
