So, it’s no surprise each generation has developed its own unique way of speaking. Take a look below at slang terms from previous generations below. We’ll follow up with even more recent words and phrases specific to Gen Z, coming soon!

Burn: The exclamation following an insult. “Are you still talking? Burn!"
Copacetic: An affirmation expressing satisfaction. “Everything is copacetic.”
(The) Skinny: Confidential information or a deeper understanding. “What’s the skinny?”
