#wordsandmediathesedays

Did you get the title? I tried to make it look cool by using a hashtag (#). I mean, doesn't everybody do that these days?

Behold! The real definition of 'swag.'

Our language is slowly deteriorating into something that is almost indecipherable. Our words are becoming smaller and smaller, and sooner or later, so will our thoughts. The words and phrases that people are starting to use in everyday life are ridiculous.I don't even know what half of them mean! This could probably be due to the fact that I'm not a huge social media fan, but seriously; how does a word like 'swag' come to describing something cool? Do you even know what the actual definition for swag is?  Modern slang has become beyond ridiculous at some points.

Take the word 'selfie' for example. It is now an official word. Somewhere, deep in the massive space of the interwebs, the word 'selfie' was used for the first time. It was then a huge hit and was blown us and used to mass proportions. Then, bam! It's an official word. Nobody would dare to think of saying, "Hey. Let's take a picture together!" Everybody would rather say, "Hey. Take a selfie with me," because this it's so much cooler (I'm joking of course).

Seriously, it's a legitimate word.

Phrases like "That test doe," or "Wow, you're basic," are things that I hear being said on a daily basis. Honestly, are you not capable of speaking a whole, coherent sentence? Or are you just trying to be cool and you actually don't understand what you're saying? The fact that we are able to communicate is amazing, but the fact that we're using it to say things such as 'turnt' or 'on fleek' is not amazing.

When you're calling somebody 'thirsty' are you suggesting that they are in need of water or some sort of liquid? No. You're suggesting that their in need of attention. How does this have anything to do with needing a liquid of some sort? Exactly, it doesn't.

Well, I apologize for going off on a complete tangent about words and slang. I also apologize to  any of those people who use these words, as I don't mean to upset or offend you, but I am just oblivious as to how 'selfie' and 'bae' are considered words. Lastly, I apologize for being a hypocrite, as I use some of these words at times (Not all the time as most people, but still). Have a nice day and don't get too crazy with your words!
