What does cellfish mean?


Inconsiderate of others while talking on the phone

Cellfish is a term used to describe a person who talks on his phone and is rude to the people around him. It combines "cell phone" and "selfish".

A person commonly exhibits cellfish behavior in smaller spaces where strangers are forced to congregate, such as a waiting room, a checkout line, movie theater, or an elevator. Since this person is so engrossed in his phone he is unaware of others.

"That dude in line was being so cellfish, no one wants to hear about dislike of your mother-in-law.
Yeah, he used like 5 f-bombs in front of those kids."

2021-10-08 05:30:06 Periodt

What does periodt mean?


An expression of emphasis

Periodt is a way to emphasize an opinion or end a discussion online. It is a more dramatic version of an actual period, similar to an exclamation point, but is spelled with a "t" added to the end of it.

Periodt is primarily used online since it is very difficult to pronounce the word's ending "t" in real life. You will most often see periodt on social sites like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.

The term became mainstream popular in 2018, but its origins trace back to the Black gay community (the spelling is meant to mimic a Black speech pattern) in the 1990s. It grew in popularity when it was adopted by VSCO girls online, much like the tea, and I oop, and sksksk terms.

Some examples of when you would use periodt include when talking passionately about fashion, celebrities you stan, and fictional characters you ship. Or you may use it when you want to end a heated discussion with your final opinion.

Example

"JT needs to be canceled for what he did to Britney. Periodt!"

2021-10-07 17:30:06 Millennial

What is a millennial?

A person born between 1981 and 1996

The generation of people born between 1981 and 1996 are commonly referred to as millennials. Sometimes also referred to as members of Generation Y, these people came of age around the turn of the millennium (aka the year 2000).

Millennials are the generation that grew up during the rise of the Internet and the introduction of social media and smart devices. As such, millennials are typically more online and tech-savvy than previous generations. (They are not, however, as online and tech-savvy as members of Generation Z.) As millennials grew to adulthood and began entering the workforce, they weathered both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, both of which hindered their economic advancement.

Because millennials hold different beliefs and do not have as much disposable income as previous generations, they are sometimes blamed for the "demise" of items that boomers considered to be cultural touchstones. Things millennials have "ruined" or "destroyed" include:

Applebee's

Fabric softener

Paper napkins

Workplace dress codes

Harley-Davidson motorcycles

Golf

Example

"I still have no idea whether or not I'm a millennial."
"Honey, you eat way too much avocado toast to not be a millennial."
