If you've found yourself getting confused after hearing someone talk with today's slang words then you're not alone. Many "older" people find some of the slang terms just downright puzzling.
I'm A Puzzle compiled a list of each state's most-Googled Gen Z slang terms. The website states, "Our new analysis uncovered the 55 most searched slang terms across the US, and the top terms people want to know more about in each state."
Across the nation, "simp" was the most-searched slang word. And in case you're wondering, it means "a man who is overly submissive to a woman." The second most-searched word was "woke," meaning "to be well-informed or sensitive to cultural issues." "Sus" came in third, meaning "suspicious or suspect."
