A Dictionary for the Basics

YOLO (n. adj. v. adv. basically all of the parts of speech)

It’s an acronym, but it’s also so much more. You Only Live Once- that’s the motto, baby. Can be used to justify any act of stupidity or to gode friends into doing something that was probably “for the Vine.”

I do what I want because YOLO.

Failing PreCal, but I mean, YOLO.

YOLO so hard.

Swag (n.)

As our great and venerable leader Justin Beiber so skillfully displayed in his song “Boyfriend”, the term Swag is very versatile and can be used in any number of ways to mean any number of things. In one 6th period, I heard “swag” literally 116 times. I counted.

He has so much swag I just can’t even.

Perf (adj.)

Short for perfect. Commonly used to describe boys and Starbucks drinks.

omg he is just so perf I love him.

Literally (adv.)

Doesn’t actually mean literally.

Did you hear what she just said? I literally think I’m about to die.

Turnt (adj.)

Post-tense of “turn up.” Has nothing to do with moving in a circular fashion. Varies directly with how happenin’ a party is.

This place is so turnt right now.

“I can’t even” (adj??? n???? v???)

I’m not sure anyone will ever know what this means. Can’t even what? Who can’t even? And why can’t they?

I literally can’t even.
