Hi please add “no cap” to the list of slang terms, one of the sources that are cited already have no cap in the title of the article, and other articles also include no cap in their list of gen z slang: here is the definition (as provided by reference 4 -4^a,b,c. Mendoza, Jordan. "Don't know what terms Gen Z is using on TikTok? Here's your guide to what they mean, no cap". USA TODAY. Retrieved 2022-12-14.)
Suggested added column: No Cap/Capping: Cap is another word for lie. Saying “no cap” means that you aren’t lying, or if you say someone is “capping,” then you are saying they are lying.
Examples: “I’m actually going to be productive today, no cap.” “You actually got tickets to the Bad Bunny concert? You’re capping.” 2604:3D09:1C78:1900:1D0B:EDF5:2C03:EEBD (talk) 03:20, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Should this article be renamed to "List of Generaztion Z and Alpha slang"? edit
There are several slangs associated with Gen Alpha more than Gen Z so should this page be renamed to that? Majonezeman (talk) 19:05, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- In my opinion, Gen Alpha slang should be in its own article. --MtPenguinMonster (talk) 08:55, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- should we create that? Majonezeman (talk) 13:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, as I mentioned before Gen Alpha has their own usage of slang. Hence, it should be its own article. Rager7 (talk) 02:57, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Since Gen Alpha is still in its early stages, most of the slang designated as "Gen Alpha slang" was created by Gen Z and therefore associated with Gen Z, not Gen Alpha. PhillyCheeeeseSteak (talk) 01:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

1. Change "Kai Sunat" [sic] on the "fanum tax" row to "Kai Cenat."
2. Add "canon event," a phrase popularized by TikTok and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse to refer to major events or phases important to development that many people go through in common. Often used in the format "I cannot interfere, it's a canon event" to show how the event is crucial for development. (e.g. When I see my sister taking Snaps with peace signs, but it's a canon event so I cannot interfere.) Sometimes, people use canon event as a euphemism for trauma. (e.g. My dad leaving for the milk was my canon event).
3. Add "era" and "arc," terms popularized by TikTok to mean phases or periods in life. A person in their "villain era" is in a pessimistic or depressive episode in which they view society negatively. A person in their "training arc" is engaging in significant self-help to similarly to how a manga or anime character would train to become more powerful. The two terms are often used satirically or humorously, and is rarely used to describe serious situations.
4. Add "mog," a term most used in the Manosphere to mean to assert dominance over someone effortlessly. It is distinguished from simple "asserting dominance" as involves no action and can simply be done by having more muscle, having a more defined jawline, etc. It comes from the acronym A.M.O.G. (alpha male of the group).

The gyatt section isn't portrayed proplerly for middle schooler like me. edit
As members of Generation Z, we refrain from employing the term "gyatt" in the manner it is depicted on the article, particularly during middle school. Instead, we use it as a colloquial expression synonymous with the word "butt." For instance, if someone remarks, "They've got that level 5 GYATT!" it humorously signifies that the person being referred to possesses a sizable BUTT or is simply used as a playful jest. 96.235.186.40 (talk) 02:26, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Gyatt edit
Gyatt does not only refer to a female identifying individual. It can be used to refer to anyone and is typically used as a sarcastic joke, rather then to highlight a legitimate subject of attraction. It also is often used in a possessive sense, rather than an exclamation. For example, one might say either gyatt, oh my gyatt, or look at Ryan’s colossal gyatt.

Real edit
I think real is pretty popular slang with Gen Z it got popular off of TikTok which many Gen Zer's are on. I think real would be a pretty good edit.

the term "era" edit
"era" is used quite a lot from what ive seen. should probably be added. e.g. "she's in her fitness era". possibly popularized by Taylor Swift's era tour?

The term "rizz" edit
The term "rizz" is derived and has similar meaning as the word charisma, which I think should be mentioned on this page Voball (talk) 13:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

GenX testimonial edit
I'm in my 40s and all these: body count, dank, ded, GOAT, hits different, NPC, period, sheesh, slay, soft-launch, stan, understood the assignment, valid, yap were relevant and prevalent for my generation as well and had the same meaning. So I don't think they should be part of this list. 2A0D:6FC0:BD0:E000:DF6:3743:2497:7B3B (talk) 13:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

What is "boy pregnancy"? I'm a pretentious old fart with 0 knowledge of this term. 3. If you have an actual article to support the use and widespread usage of this term, no, this will not be added and wikipedia is politically funded and impartial. Whatever will we do?!?!

"Please add X to this list!" ⋮ "Please change X to Y!" edit
This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
Since we've had a lot of newcomers here...
This notice is for those who wish to request the addition of a term to the list, or an edit to something pre-existing.
To increase your chances of adding or changing something, please make an edit request.
Instructions are available, (Edit requests § Making requests) but here's the gist:
- Format should be "Change X to Y" or "Add X to list"
- Must have sources to back up request.
- Examples are cool, but a source should be more than just that.
And also:
- Don't speak on the behalf of an entire population.
- "I'm Gen Z, so I know what I'm talking about."
- "Here's an article to support my claims!"
Thank you :)

"Periodt", not "period" edit
The source for the "Period" entry is about "periodt", not "period".
The source clearly says in the first paragraph that the use of "period" to indicate that a statement is final is attested from the early 1900s. OED confirms that "period" isn't Gen Z slang and has been in mainstream use for over 100 years.
What the source says, rather, is that "periodt" spelled with a "t" is a new term (or rather a new pronunciation of an old term). All of the information in the "Origin" column is also about "periodt", and ignores the information in the source about the origin of "period" as an interjection.

How about this:
Originated from hip-hop. The modern term "no cap" was popularized in 2017 with the release of songs such as "Deadz" by Migos and "No Cap" by Young Thug and Future, but "cap" has roots in AAVE dating back to at least the 1990s.[1][2]

"saying the quiet part (out) loud" and "(horny) on main" edit
both are popular and well covered enough to warrant their own articles, yet they arent covered anywhere on wikipedia as of now. Since this list doesnt just include slang that solely originated with Gen Z I think it is appropriate to include these as well. (see wiktionary entries for more info) Apart from that, I feel like the overly broad scope of this list is gonna be unhelpful in the long run, why is there no list of millennial slang or a more general list of internet slang that would contain anything not specifically linked to Gen Z? --jonas (talk) 03:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Most likely and accurate origin of the term 'Cap' edit
The origin of the term "Cap" is a audible misspell of a Twitch addon FrankerFaceZ emote "Kapp", a modified version of the Twitch emote 'Kappa', used when someone is lying on stream, but peeking (https://www.frankerfacez.com/emoticon/218860-Kapp) This modified emote was submitted in 2017, since then it has slowly been used by top streamers, referring to the FFZ emote by saying "Thats Kapp!". To Twitch outsiders, it sounds like they are saying 'Cap' which is the reason why people started to use the term in that way to this day. Rayan1023 (talk) 12:33, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

- The emoticon/kaomoji to resemble the face it resembles it should be used as UwU and/or uWu as neither Uwu nor uwU has the symmetry. While a reliable survey or web crawl cannot be made at the least all-lower "uwu" should be used as it is the stylized article title for the English Wikipedia article.
- The first known instance mentioned on the Wikipedia page is stylized as "UwU"
- The latter instance on a fan-fiction also is stylized as "UwU" Emircex (talk) 11:47, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Motion to define Gen Z as mid-to-late 1990s through 2011 edit
It doesn't look like anyone has proposed changing the range of Gen Z's years, so I'll be the first. Because a large share of the academic, but also popular media, landscape place the start of Gen Z as 1995, I think we could reasonably replace "those born between the late 1990s and the late 2000s" with "those born in the mid-to-late 1990s through the 2000s." I'm leaving citations below for evidence.

Lack of coherent criteria for inclusion edit
This list lacks any kind of general criteria for inclusion. It merely includes "slang used by Generation Z", which is extremely vague. Plenty of slang which obviously predate Gen Z's very existence have been added to this list. Therefore, I am recommending that a new criterion be added: slang which is associated with Generation Z in reliable sources. ―Howard • 🌽33 15:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

"Pluh/Pluggz" Lack of Resources edit
No resources prove or point towards to the stated use case.
Podcast excerpt talking about the tag's origin. Emircex (talk) 11:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- in addition, the short description is still accurate. Although it now correctly credits BeatPluggz as the originator of the plug sound effect, they never used it as a "pluh" sound and you can hear it clearly say "Plug!" in many of the songs they used it in. I think it would be useful to redirect to the article here on Plugg music as it provides much more needed context in addition to the new wave use in TikTok memes. 129.130.19.25 (talk) 12:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Windows 95 sounds like a good cut off anyways i grew up with technology there’s nothing millennial about that, not to mention millennials grew up in the 90s either partially or mostly i don’t think being 4 by the time the decade ends counts.

In the explanation section for 'Gaslight', the synopsis of the play is slightly incorrect (per the synopsis at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_Light)– I would suggest changing the wording to "where a man tries to convince his wife she's imagining the dimming of their gas lights to hide his attempted thefts" or something similar.

In the row of the table for "rizz" in the 3rd box from the left, it says: "In mid-2021, the term subsequently gained after being popularized by American Twitch streamer Kai Cenat." After the phrase "subsequently gained", the word "popularity" or "fame" seems necessary to correct the missing adjective in the first clause.
