Whether you are an adult, a secondary school student, or even currently attending a university, you have probably heard a considerable amount of slang come from the mouths of college students. If you are a secondary school student, you will find out that you have a lot to look forward to! If you are a college student, you know exactly what I am talking about. And if you're my mom, well I'm sorry. If you know the term "rager" or "mixer," you're definitely a college student (or very up to date with college slang). If you didn't, you're in for a treat.
1. Mixer
A party between a single sorority and a single fraternity, no one else is invited.
"Hey, Ken are you going to the mixer tonight?"
"No, I can't. It's only for people like Brad from Sigma Apple Pie."
2. Rager
A colossal party that is bigger than average.
"Bro what are you doing tonight? Roar Omega Roar is throwing a rager!"
3. Norts
A pair of athletic shorts, which usually can not even be seen under a size 7X T-shirt. The term originated from Nike shorts but is no longer limited to just Nike.
"Hey, Susan what are you wearing to class?"
"Probably norts and a t-shirt."
4. Pregame
When everyone is under twenty-one and unable to get drinks at the bar, so they drink before they go out.
"Wait for Helen, how are we supposed to get drinks at the bar when we aren't twenty-one yet?"
"Calm down Kim, we are pregaming at Chad's house before we go out."
5. Freshman Fifteen
A real disease when a first-time student goes off to college, gaining fifteen pounds during the first semester.
"Mom for some reason my shirt I got on the cruise this summer doesn't fit."
"It's probably from the freshman fifteen Billy."
6. Froomie
Someone who is not only your roommate but also your friend.
"Kelly I'm so glad I didn't get a random roommate, having you as a froomie is so much better."
7. Flaky
When someone is not reliable.
"Is Brian still going with you to the date party?"
"No, he canceled."
"Wow he is SO flaky"
8. Lit
Refers to a very fun time. Trust me, if this term is used to describe an event, you want to be there.
"Hey, Ryan how's the party?"
"Bro Timmy this place is lit you need to get here ASAP."
9. Keeping it 100
When someone keeps things real and is a very reliable person.
"Did you finish your homework?"
"Yes, Tommy helped me with it yesterday after class."
"Man, he's always keeping it 100"
10. GOAT
Refers to someone who is the "Greatest Of All Time."
"Brooke can I borrow an outfit, you always have cute clothes."
"Yes of course!"
"Awesome you're the GOAT!"
11. RT
An acronym for the word Retweet. Refers to the action on twitter of reposting something simply because it is relatable.
"I am SO tired"
"RT"
Although college students are learning better grammar than ever before, they sometimes choose to only express the new slang words. I mean, wouldn't you?
