The Gen Alpha vocabulary problem
If you have ever heard a 9-year-old say "that's so sigma, no fanum tax" and felt your soul leave your body, you are in the right place. Gen Alpha slang evolves faster than any generation before it because the source — short-form video — is endless.
The big five Gen Alpha words
- Skibidi — chaotic, weird, or nonsensical. Often used as a meaningless intensifier.
- Gyatt — an exclamation of awe, originally about a large rear end.
- Sigma — a self-reliant, lone-wolf high-status guy. Often ironic.
- Ohio — anything cursed, surreal, or off-putting. "Only in Ohio."
- Fanum tax — taking a bite of someone else's food without asking, named after the streamer Fanum.
