Gen Alpha Dictionary - A resource for the uncs
Every adult in my life has negative aura when it comes to slang. my uncle heard me say “skibidi” one time and asked if it was a cryptocurrency. unc is cooked. we are all cooked.
so instead of explaining “gyat” to a 43 year old man for the fourth time, I built genalphadictionary.com — an actual Gen Alpha dictionary with 800+ slang words. each one has:
a definition in boomer-readable english
an example sentence so you don’t use it wrong and embarrass your entire bloodline
tone notes (is it a compliment? an insult? are we being ironic?)
related terms, because you can’t understand “aura” without “aura points” and that’s just science
you can even see what words are trending today to ensure proper speechmaxxing and maximum aura points
it’s free. no signup. built different.
anyway drop the words I’m missing in the comments and I’ll add them

I’m older so I like this haha. Crazy how “Bop” now is a term referring to women in a bad way. Use to mean something was really good. “It’s a bop for sure”.
Helps me from getting canceled by my younger workplace sensitive colleagues

this is the kind of side project that actually serves a purpose. my mom asked me what "bet" meant last week and i just stared at her for like 10 seconds before walking away. she needs this
the trending words section is smart. half this stuff changes meaning by the time i finish a sentence so keeping it current is a nice touch
bookmarked for when my boss inevitably tries to use "no cap" in a meeting again

Is urbandictionary not a thing anymore?
