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. 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.

Great for educating kids!
I was intrigued to continue listening to this book to learn the game and history of baseball.The author explained the game of baseball very well. Extremely simple to understand the way it is explained. I found it very interesting to learn what “you’re killin me smalls” means because I’ve been saying that phrase for the majority of my life and have never known what it meant! Great book for those interested in the game of baseball.
