Tinder Prank Gone Wrong

Tinder Prank Gone Wrong

     Well, hello there, audience; my little squad of unique and brilliant people. I'm here to tell you a little story that went horribly wrong. Now, a lot of what I do nowadays is for you guys. I brainstorm ideas, ask others' input, and do a little bit of researching here and there. The life of a blogger, am I right? Well, this time, the story that I planned, moved in inexplicable ways. 

     It all started with a little prank that I decided to do on Tinder. The reason for why I did this wasn't for content (I would never do stuff just to write about it, come on now), but I wanted to retaliate against the whole system. It didn't even work, at least for me, because obviously, I'm still single (As of right now). All the trouble of writing a perfect bio, compiling the best pictures, and the strenuous effort to talk to people, ends up in relationships that don't lead anywhere, boring dates, and dick picks. Come on gentlemen (specifically those who appreciate to send imagery of their phallic region, keep it to yourself unless it's asked for), be a little bit classy. However, some might say that I shouldn't be worried about getting a date at this age, and they're right, maybe the reason for why I end up in such predicaments is that I'm not really looking for someone (other than a cool friend to talk and bounce some ideas off of) and my age might attract men with adverse intentions. Nevertheless, the experience was below sub par and so I grew an increasing amount of resentment (not because I'm lonely...), that's why I decided to play a prank. 

     I wanted to see how people would react to a profile containing just an anime pillow. That's right, an anime pillow, with a caption of "swipe right for me senpai". Then I laid back swiped right a couple of times until I received my responses. Honestly, this process took a lot longer than any time before and I had a lot of people either ignored me, asked for pictures of myself, or talked about anime (which I didn't mind because the topic was relevant). A lot of guys asked for pictures to validate that I'm a girl, which also made sense in the context. 

Lit Teenage Slang that's in use RN

The Real Meaning of Teenage Slang (2017)

     Well hello there. If you're someone who's not in touch with the current lingo, don't sweat it. I've came up with 27 terms that you might not know and if you learn all of them then you will be well prepared to talk to the current youth. Even if you're an adult, a teen who's lived under a rock, or just a youngin, don't sweat; after learning the meaning of all of these terms, you will be well prepared to set out into the modern world. Plus, I know these terms are current because I'm 18, and who better to ask about the teenage slang than a teenager? Well.. Sort of a teen. Anyhoo.. Here are the terms.

Lit adj.

     In its literal meaning, 'Lit' refers to something being on fire, but as used in teenage slang, 'Lit' translates to something being cool and awesome. Honestly, it's one of the most recent words out there that's become popular and commonplace in the teenage community. 

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"Damn, that party was 'lit'!"

"'Lit', the homework isn't due until tomorrow morning! Now, I can go procrastinate!"

Boi/ Bruh/ Bra Noun.

     'Boi', which is a word that's sometimes drawn out, as in 'Boiiiiiiiiiiii...' is a popular saying in the teenage meme community. It refers to a frog on a unicycle, I know this stuff is weird. It can also be referred to as the common slang 'Bruh', which almost have the same meaning. They both refer someone as a friend but the term 'Boi' is commonly used as a greeting but it can also relate to an awesome event, which can be an awesome win or an awesome fail. Meanwhile 'Bruh' usually means 'really?', but it can also be used with the word 'why' for emphasis. Additionally, 'Bra' doesn't only mean women's undergarments, it's a term that can also replace the word 'bruh'. It's just a shorter version.

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"Hey 'Boiiiiiiiiii!'"
"That test sucked 'Boi'!"
"'Bruh', why did you text your ex?!"
"'Bruh', why you do dis?"

Meme Noun.

     Now if you don't know what a meme is in today's day and age, shame on you. However, if you've lived under a rock all this time with no internet access, then I can understand. A meme is basically a picture with a funny caption on it, and there are old and new memes. If you start using old memes everyone will basically roll their eyes at you so make sure to stay current with your memes, if you decide to use them of course.

How to use this term in a sentence:

"Cool 'meme' bruh."

"I make 'memes' for a living, I get all the b-*cough* ladies."

Squad Noun.

     A squad basically means a 'team', or a 'group of friends'. Usually, 'the squad' is your main group that you fit in the best. The article 'the' usually adds importance to the squad that it's referring. 

How to use this term in a sentence:

"Let's take 'the squad' out to Kermit's house, he said that he has pizza."

"Guys, check out my 'squad'."

Swag/ Swagger Adj.

     'Swag'/ 'Swagger', you either have it or you don't. It's a hard term to describe, it basically refers to someone who's cool, someone who has shades, the right shoes, the hat, the walk, etc. However, swag can also be a derogative term to describe prepubescent 12-year-old children who try to act cool. Even though the term 'swag' is a thing of the past (specifically 2007), it's still useful to understand it's meaning.

"I like you as a friend, tbh, I've always loved to spend time with you"

Thirst noun.Thirsty adj.

     The term 'Thirst' most commonly refers to the want for, how do I put this lightly, recreational procreation. When someone is thirsty, it just means that they're really desperate for attention from the opposite sex (sigh* ... I didn't want to say it but I did).

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"The 'thirst' is real"

"Damn he's/she's 'thirsty'"

Sliding into the DMs verb

     Sliding into the DMs, which is an acronym that means Direct Messaging, is an effortless action of engaging with someone from social media by text. This action is basically a loose term as it can also imply sexual communication, through the use of a corny or good pickup line, with the person from social media.

"I slid into his 'DMs' last night"

"Dude, I was so close in sliding into her 'DMs' last night but then she had to leave"
