NEW YORK, June 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Reading the above,
you're most likely to fall into one of two camps: either this is your native language (ok, maybe it's trying a little too hard,
I'm exaggerating for effect) or this is complete and utter nonsense (I'm guessing you're most likely over 25).
For those who are falling into the latter camp, the new website AtoGenZ.com may be your lifesaver (clutch, if you will). Billed as Urban Dictionary for the next generation, the
website is a living, breathing alphabet that breaks down today's most common Gen Z slang. It features candid and, at times,
hilarious definitions with videos (created straight from the source) that outline each term and what it means.
If you're under 25, you may still pick up a thing or two, and you can certainly test your chops here to see if you are indeed fluent in Gen Z speak.
The website was created by McCann Truth Central in response to the phenomenal array of words and phrases that youth use today.
Whether it is Vine videos inspiring the fashionista's favorite compliment, 'on fleek'; or YouTube clips showcasing dances like
Nae Nae and Hit the Quan; or even Snapchat stars coining their own catchphrases (think: DJ
Khaled's "keys to success") – the Internet has allowed for a constantly evolving and impenetrable new.
