This article slaps. It’s so dope dude you don’t even understand.

   You’re probably reading this article like, “Ew why are there old cringy words in here.” This is how the teachers here at WO would talk back then. 

Instructor Shannon Witvoet:

What was your favorite slang to use when you were younger (in your teen years)?

Dude. We used it all the time. All through high school and even into college.

What does it mean?

It is similar to “Bruh” or “Bro”

How would you use it?

It was an exclamation or a greeting. Dude! What’s up? Or Dude, what happened? Or Dude! I’m pumped (which means I’m excited).

Is that a word you still use to this day? 

I do use it, but I use it much less and mainly when I talk to my friends and my husband and other people my age.

What was your favorite slang to use when you were younger?

Ya, I do not think that I used slang all that much. That being said, the world I probably used the most was tight. 

What does it mean?

This meant that something was cool. 

How would you use it?

 “Oh that’s tight” is a way it would have been used.

“I use the word tight today when something is difficult to remove, or is tight.”
