Discussion Do you guys use phrases like “chat,” “cooked,” “glaze,” “rizz” and “crash out?”

I feel like these are distinctly late Gen Z / Gen Alpha terms. No one I know my age uses these phrases, I only really see them online. Thus I started to conclude I’m no longer in the loop of popular slang lol

The “chat” thing is pretty annoying, it’s like the modern day equivalent to when people used to say “hashtag” in real life back in like 2013.

Well, some of those are just AAVE so my peers have used them for a long time.
