Summary
Gen-Z slang is everywhere, there’s no point denying it. It’s not like Klingon, either. You can’t ignore it into oblivion. It’s here to stay.
Pop culture, digital marketing, movies, TV shows, books, and the entire internet in general is affected by this evolved diction. Words that previously had no meaning, words like "yeet" and "okurr", are now not only being recognized by and large by a whole demographic, but are also being used as part of their daily vocabulary.
This book, although not exhaustive, serves to help you understand and decode popular Gen-Z slang terms, tries to explore their rich history, and aims to make you become better versed in the colloquial speech of the young and trendy.
We’ll discuss possible origins of this language, how internet culture influenced the formation and propagation of these quirky phrases, and then, we’ll take a look at some of the most popular and common terms, catchphrases, and codewords out there.
We shall also go through Gen-Z’s dating slang, with commentary on how the modern landscape of myriad platforms and services has made what was once an arduous and romantic endeavor (dating) convenient, low-effort, and has simplified it to the point where it’s conventional to find someone online as opposed to being odd.
If you’re into history, if discovering the origins of things piques your curiosity, or if you’re simply looking to flex on the younger crowd that you know their terminologies and their secret language, this book will be a good primer for you while keeping things fun, casual, and light.

Let's keep up with new words!
We don't have to know the latest craze among teenagers. But if we do, we can build closer connections with them. This book presents all trending topics and slang of the Gen-Z. These are much easier and more interesting than we thought. Great book!

THE bible to understand Gen Z
This audiobook is the perfect manual to understand Gen Z: their wording, their habits, what they like and dislike... etc
The information provided is thorough and well explained, while very funny.
This audiobook is an ideal resource to better understand the Gen Z's way of thinking, whether it is for personal/ familial purposes or for business purposes.

Awesomeness in 90 minutes!
I needed this book and loved it! I don’t know how often the kids have tried to throw a word at me to try and catch me out or how often I have looked at a word or an abbreviation and wondered what was meant and how it even got there as a word. It got me pressed and meant this book was a must have for me and it did not disappoint! Not just the words and content, but the way it is narrated and written is just great fun ('decrypting sequence’ is funny) and perfect for this topic. I liked the list format and the explanations and some of the words are fantastic - cancelled, vulturing, ghosting, finessing, glow-up! and so on and when the words are put into a sentence - well, what to say?! Wish we had these words when I was younger! Brilliant. Or wig time to infinity. Period.

Funny and Informative!
A great audiobook! My favourite part was the dating slang, there are so many ins and outs of the gen-z dating game. It was also interesting to hear about the possible origins of the Gen-z language and culture and the writers opinions about it.
I also love that the book has such an extensive list of the common terms and it explains them extremely well!
Love this different audiobook.

Very helpful!
I’ve actually bought this audiobook because I’m learning English and when I play Fortnite online I’ve some difficulties understanding and speaking with Americans. This audiobook it’s helping me better understand Gen Z slang. Thanks to Devon Knot I’ve learned many new words that I couldn't understand before and I’m becoming a better communicator!
This audiobook is short but very effective!

Laugh out loud guaranteed!
As a millenial I learned a lot, while laughing a lot! Perfect entertainment for a long drive somewhere. I really enjoyed the decrypting sequences and the dating slang. Turns out I thought I knew what some words meant, and I was wrong! How embarrasing. Now I can safely say I can venture to a Gen Z garden party anytime, and actually know what's going on. Awesome book!
