I realize I'm a millennial and that I should know all of these terms, but I neither know some nor enjoy the vast majority of the existence of these words. I apologize in advance if anybody feels "personally attacked" by a simple list of terms I don't like. I had nobody in mind when coming up with this list.

1. Lit

It sure would be lit if people would start saying "off the hook," "amazing," "fantastic," "sweet," or "cool" again. I realize "lit" may have lit you up like a light bulb in the past, but there are already a countless number of words in the English language that are synonymous with the millennial meaning of this word.

2. Low-key

Do you mean the mythological character Loki? This person is who I picture when people say this term. I am low-key guilty of saying "low-key" on multiple occasions, but I find it to be another synonym for great words that millennials are killing one by one.

3. Like

This word is a way overused filler. While it is not really a slang word, I find really annoying and not required, like, ever.

4. Woke

Please add "up" after this word. It makes absolutely no sense. Be woke and make it make sense again.

5. Bae

This word is perhaps my least favorite slang term ever. It is one "b" short of "babe," so why don't you just call the person "babe?"

6. I can't even

Please complete your thought. You cannot even what? Grasp the information that is being given? Believe what is happening? I can't even begin to understand the lack of love for complete thoughts in this generation.

7. Thicc

Here lies an unnecessary consonant change. It honestly sounds like someone is shivering through the pages when it is written or typed. Please don't kill the k in this word. I happen to like the letter k. The dictionary is already thick enough.

8. Turn up

Turn up what? The volume? Do you mean "Turn it up?" I don't know what you're trying to say, so this word turns me off even more to millennial slang.

9. Slay

Follow your dreams and slay that dragon so you can have Cinderella, Prince Charming, or whoever is trapped in the castle. How about we go back to using the '70's definition of this word.

10. Yas

Seriously, just say yes or yessssssss to replace yas or yaaaaaas. The only difference is a redundant vowel change, so yes, I find it irksome.
