Sis, this Generation Z dictionary slaps, no cap. Periodt.

If you have no idea what I just said, perhaps you could use this handy dictionary of Generation Z slang words that a high school teacher created?

According to Bored Panda, Mr. James Callahan works at Lowell High School in Massachusetts. He teaches teenagers, a.k.a. members of Generation Z, a.k.a. kids whose slang words are sometimes unrecognizable even to people who are only a few years older than them.

In an effort to connect to his students more, Mr. Callahan started writing down the definitions of the newfangled slang words that he heard his students using. He now has an online document of 70 words and definitions, and it’s amazing.

Here are just a few helpful translations from the dictionary:

“Sis”: Exclamation of disbelief/universal nickname.

“Slaps”: Of high quality.

“No cap”: I am serious/no lie/for real.

“Periodt”: See “facts.”

“Facts”: I agree with what you just said; a confirming question; may be used as a question or statement.

Mr. Callahan’s dictionary went massively viral on Twitter, because it’s hilarious, adorable, AND educational.
