If your kids come home from school saying words and phrases that are completely foreign to you, there's a chance you probably Googled some of these words.

With the rise of social media, a lot of things have changed the way of the world. One of those things includes the birth of new slang terms. If you are a parent of a teen today, there is a good chance that your kids have come home and had a conversation with you or their friends where they have said a few words or phrases that you have never heard before. Slang terms aren't anything new; however, it seems like there are more that come and go in a given year than ever before.

As a parent, I have heard my fair share of slang terms where I  had to ask my kids what they meant. The sad part is when you ask them, and even they don't even know what they mean, they just say that everyone is saying it. That's when you take out your phone and try to search that term to find out what in the world your kids are talking about. Then, you try to say that phrase or word in front of your kid, once you have a grasp of what it means, only to get that annoyed eye roll, followed by them saying, "Don't ever say that again."

If you're laughing at that, then you know exactly what I'm talking about! Word Unscrambler, an online tool for word games, recently analyzed search data from Google Trends for terms related to slang words. The analysis also identified the top 10 most-searched slang terms in Kentucky during 2025. I honestly only recognized a handful on the list, and the ones I didn’t recognize, I don’t think I’ve actually heard my kids say, thankfully!

A spokesperson for Unscramblerer.com commented on the findings:

"Popular slang in 2025 continues to be heavily influenced by TikTok, Instagram, gaming, streaming, Gen Z and Alpha online communities. Trends from social media spread rapidly via memes and viral challenges. Fueled by technology our language adapts to new slang trends more rapidly than ever. Slang is a fascinating and fun mirror of our culture."

Again, this is pretty handy to know about because some of these terms are not what you'd want your kids to be saying, especially if they think that you don't know what it mean. On the flipside, you can always annoy your kids by using their own slang terms on them in the proper way, you know, just to annoy them.
