The latest greatest college-level slang (from UCLA<\/a>, at least). Of course, the fact that it’s now in print means it’s obsolete.<\/p>\n

\n

“bellig” — belligerent and drunk
“bromance” — extremely close platonic friendship between men
“brothers from another mother” — male friends as close as siblings
“destroy” — to do well at something
“epic fail” — big mistake
“FOMO” — fear of missing out
“get all up in your biznatch” — meddle in your business
“mija” — female friend
“Obama” — cool
“off the hezzie” — cool
“papi chulo” — male friend
“presh” — precious
“schwa” — wow
“sisters from another mister” — female friends as close as siblings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of which I recognize “schwa” (from, of all things, Batman Beyond<\/em>), “epic fail” (duh), and “mija” (I know some Spanish), and would probably figure out “bellig” (assuming a soft g<\/em>), “destroy” and “presh” in context.<\/p>\n

The brother\/sister ones sound too artificial to last for long. Ditto the “biznatch” one. And “Obama” will be cool for another … oh, wait, he’s been President for six months, no longer cool. “Off the hezzie” is given at Urban Dictionary as “off the heezy<\/a>,” and is also unlikely IMO to last long.<\/p>\n

Ah, kids these days.<\/p>\n
