I don't really make much of an effort to keep up with current slang terms. I'm not going to watch a bunch of crap vids on youber-tuber (that's tuber as in potato or other root vegetable) just to learn some dumbass expression. But when I run across some new slang, from whatever source, I like to at least know what it means.
So this is an invitation to provide your own examples of recent, or even not so recent, slang terms.
My contribution is 'on fleek' which means a variety of things apparently but generally something is 'on fleek' if it is perfect. Or, as Urban Dictionary explains it:
However despite the high praise of being cited by UD (insert giggles here), it seems that the phrase doesn't actually have any meaning. 'Fleek' for example, isn't even a word. Personally, I think we should start a trend to make the spelling 'en fleek' and try to fake everyone out that it's really some obscure French saying (let the lolz roll).
Anyway, if you want to learn more about where the phrase comes from, it's etymology so to say, here is an entertaining article.
