The language of Generation Alpha has become somewhat of an enigma to those of us who are a little older.
These kids are unlike any of their predecessors, as they are growing up in a world where information is on the other end of a Google search and YouTube is their king.
This means they communicate incredibly different to the rest of us.
Listen to The Quicky, Mamamia's daily news podcast. Post continues after audio.
Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter Blue Ivy, and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter North West are both part of Gen A. The oldest of the generation are 14 years old this year, and were born in 2010.
Blue and North have already become major figures in their generation's cohort, because of their presence in pop culture (Blue has been considered a legend since her mother announced her pregnancy in 2011 and North has a public TikTok account with 20 million followers).
However, there are millions of kids just like them who are making trends and creating slang online.
Below we translate the words you've probably never heard of because Generation Alpha made them up.
The Gen Alpha words you need to know.
Skibidi Toilet = Not everyone agrees on its meaning. It originated from the Russian rave band Little Big. A remix was made of the song and then repurposed on YouTube by the channel "DaFuq?!Boom!". In the clip, it shows a head in a toilet singing the song. It doesn't really mean anything. It's just an inside joke.
Only In Ohio or "Ohio" = To say this means that something is weird or strange or creepy. Since Ohio is considered to be a bit of a weird place, to call something 'Ohio' is an insult.
