All you constantly hear about are hashtags, tweets, and snapchat stories gone viral, and it seems the farther you are from Tybee, the more savage* the vocabulary is. Just when you’ve become comfortable with actually using LOL, OMG, or OMW without SMH in disgust, an infinite layer of internet viral buzzwords and acronyms that don’t make any kind of sense lurk behind you. And while the millennials will slay* their way around Tybee this summer, it’s important to know that some of their lingo is extra* and hard to understand. The truth about understanding these buzzwords is actually quite simple. I’ve broken them down into 3 categories to help any Tybee local understand the foreign language of Summer 2017: 1. The Acronym: An abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word. Mostly becoming popular again to be convenient AF* in texting, but also due to the character limit used while tweeting. Chances are what you text may be read by Mom and Dad, so they will have no idea what’s being said. Think of this almost as Morse Code for the millennials. Important ones to know include: Feels, Ship, Totes, GOAT, Hundo P, BAE, F.B.I. 2. The Recycled Word: A word that already exists in the English language and already has an understood meaning but has been recycled by the internet to mean something very different. So if you are minding your business at (ENTER BAR NAME HERE), you might hear some words like: Snatached, Sauce, Savage, and Tribe. Please don’t think a large group of violent, marinara-covered natives are headed your way to kidnap you. Those words have completely new meanings, see below for updated definitions. 3. The Combo!
