A 43-Year-Old High School Teacher Has Been Keeping A List Of Gen Z Slang Terms His Students Use
James Callahan, a 43-year-old sociology teacher at a high school in Massachusetts, has been keeping a running list of African American Vernacular English slang terms he believes is representative of the Gen Z generation that he overhears students using at school.
"For example, when I think of 'snack,' I think Cheez-Its," he went on."It wasn't until a month ago that I learned that an attractive person is a 'snack.' I'm laughing again just thinking about my students explaining it to me." While Callahan has characterized them as general"Gen Z slang," many of these terms that have been attributed to the Gen Z generation at large are derived from black culture, and specifically black internet culture.
Callahan confirmed this, and said he's not shy about asking a student in his class or in the hallways to explain to him what a word or term means when he overhears something he doesn't understand. It's also part of his job as an educator."The interesting thing is that there are many more Gen Z terms that exist but are not on the list because they aren't used anymore by teens.
