π Dad Socks
β»οΈUnfashionable socks often worn by dads
Dad socks are socks that are worn in an unfashionable manner, often with shorts and sandals or tennis shoes. These socks are often white tube socks that go halfway up a dad's calves.
While the term typically applies to socks worn in an unfashionable way, it may also refer to socks that are just plain ugly. Since dads usually care about comfort more than fashion, they are guilty of this fashion crime more than other people.
βExample
He's not even 25 yet but already wears dad socks.
You're in trouble!

π Bro
β»οΈBrother
Bro is short for "brother," which may be an actual blood brother or brother-in-law. Guys also commonly use it to refer to a close male friend.
When used with family members, bro is a straightforward abbreviation that simply refers to a brother. For example, you may text your brother, "Hey bro. You coming to mom and dad's this Sunday"
However, guys also use bro to refer to close male friends with no family ties (sometimes called a bromance).
In these cases, the guys are typically young (in their teens or twenties), into sports and partying, and looking to pick up women. Common bro stereotypes are fraternity brothers, surfers, and sports teammates.
For many, these types of bros conjure up negative connotations that all bros are muscular and unintelligent. However, it's never wise to assume who is and isn't a bro since bros come in all shapes and sizes and are not limited to a specific type of male.
βExample
Sup bro? How u doing?
Good. U?
I'm great, bro.

π F4F
β»οΈFollow for follow
F4F means "follow for follow." It is used on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram to tell other users that, if they follow you, you'll follow them back - ensuring that both your follower counts grow.
Because social media platforms boost posts made by people with large numbers of followers, many users attempt to gain followers however they can. F4Fing is a relatively mild and organic way of attempting to gain followers, as opposed to spamming hashtags in your posts or utilizing algorithms and bots to gain followers automagically.
If you want to let people know you'll follow them if they follow you, be sure to add the #F4F hashtag to your Twitter, TikTok, or Insta posts. If you want to look for users who will follow you if you follow them, you can search for others' use of the #F4F hashtag.
βExample
RT if you need followers! I love you all! #F4F #FF

π Can Of Corn
β»οΈAn easy catch by a fielder
In baseball, a can of corn is an easy catch by a fielder, such as a highly hit ball (pop fly) that gives the infield or outfield defender a lot of time to settle under it to make the catch. While uncommon, you may still see or hear baseball commentators or fans use the term during a game, in person, or online.
For example, during an MLB game, a play-by-play commentator may say, "Lewis grabs the can of corn to end the inning." Or, a fan may complain about a hitter's poor hitting streak and say, "Kepler is in such a slump right now. Every AB is a K or can of corn." You may also hear people refer to a can of corn as a "pop fly," "weak flyball," or "routine fly."
Origin of can of corn in baseball
The slang term "can of corn" originates from the placement of cans of corn on the top shelves in grocery stores in the early 20th century. To get them down, a worker would use a pole with a hook to move it off the shelf while another worker would be in a position under the can to easily catch it with their apron.
Baseball historians credit MLB play-by-play broadcaster Red Barber for popularizing the saying in baseball during his tenure from the 1930s to the 60s. He called games for the Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers, and New York Yankees.
βExample
And with that can of corn by Johnson, the Panthers win it 5 to 1.
What a great way to start the season.

π Get Oofed
β»οΈGet wrecked
Get oofed means "get wrecked." Roblox players, especially, use this term to jokingly mock other players and also people IRL.
Roblox is a free-to-play MMOG that allows players to play dozens of different types of online games within one game platform. While the game is largely silly and does not force players into contentious situations, play characters can die in Roblox. When a character dies, they make an "oof" sound, leading players to coin the phrase "get oofed" and use it in place of "get wrecked" or "get rekt" when they kill another player or witness that player's death.
If you interact with a Roblox player in real life (especially a younger one), they might tell you to "get oofed" when they beat you at chess, see you fall off a hoverboard, or realize how old you are. They may, however, regain some respect for you when they realize that you know what "get oofed" means.
βExample
Ah, shoot, you sunk my battleship.
Oh yeah get oofed, Uncle Matt!

π DND
β»οΈDungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons is a popular tabletop role-playing game (RPG) that allows players to imagine themselves as fantasy characters adventuring within a fantastic world. First published in 1974, DnD (also known as D&D) remains the best-known and best-selling tabletop RPG.
To play, a number of players (usually three to five) sit down together and create player characters (PCs). These characters act as the players' in-game avatars, who begin journeying (via spoken word) through a world created by the game's Dungeon Master (DM). Together, the players and their Dungeon Master craft a story in which the players' characters either overcome or are defeated by the challenges the Dungeon Master has created.
Dungeons & Dragons has endured a number of highs and lows throughout its history. In the 1980s, the so-called "Satanic Panic" saw parents attempting to link the game to devil worship and Satanism. However, the game's reputation recovered from these accusations, and in the late 2010s and early 2020s, D&D gained in popularity thanks to its appearance in the Netflix show Stranger Things and the rise of actual play podcasts and videos. Due to its increased pop culture profile and the proliferation of online D&D-playing tools, such as Roll20.net and DnDBeyond.com, Dungeons & Dragons may be more popular now than it has ever been.
βExample
Sorry, I can't make it to mini-golf Weds. That's my DnD night.

π Buzzkill
β»οΈSomething that spoils a good mood
Buzzkill is when something abruptly ruins the good mood or vibe others are experiencing. For example, if a group of friends is having fun hanging out, and one of the friends reminds everyone that every heartbeat brings them closer to death, the friends might say, "Thanks for the buzzkill, Todd."
The term is well known, with people using it in just about every context, including in person, in messages, and online. Even if accidental, buzzkills are always a bummer and may come in various shapes and sizes. For example, an insult, a revealed secret, the arrival of a guest, or lousy weather all qualify as buzzkills.
Origin of buzzkill
It is unclear who first coined the slang term "buzzkill." But the word dates back to the early 1990s (at least) and comes from the purposeful or accidental killing of a high (often referred to as a "buzz").
βExample
Who invited Jeff to the party?
IDK, but he's the biggest buzzkill.
Last time I got stuck listening to his earwax story for 20 minutes.

It is unclear who first coined the slang term "buzzkill." But the word dates back to the early 1990s (at least) and comes from the purposeful or accidental killing of a high (often referred to as a "buzz").
βExample
Who invited Jeff to the party?
IDK, but he's the biggest buzzkill.
Last time I got stuck listening to his earwax story for 20 minutes.

π Cap
β»οΈLie
Cap means "lie" or "false." The slang term gained popularity in 2018 as an alternative to the No cap term, which means "For real" or "No lie."
While Cap became somewhat popular in 2018, it gained a lot more exposure in May 2019 when NBA superstar Kevin Durant used it in a tweet accusing reporter Chris Broussard of lying about texting with him. People may also use "cap" in the context of "busting a cap," which means shooting a gun with the intent to kill a person.
βExample
He said you gave him the answers.
Cap!

π PeepoSad
β»οΈI'm sad
Twitch viewers use peepoSad to express their sadness or disappointment. This term, and the emote with which it is associated, is one of many that stem from an edited image of Pepe the Frog.
Origin of peepoSad
The original Peepo was a fan-drawn recreation of Pepe the Frog that first appeared on imageboards in the late 2010s. Eventually, netizens began using Peepo (or Pepo) to refer to any edited version of Pepe.
Thus, when Twitch users began creating edited, expressive Pepe emotes (used as shorthand for different reactions), they assigned them names like peepoCheer, peepoHappy, and peepoSad. The peepoSad emote, specifically, features an image of Pepe crying.
βExample
I can't believe we lost that game.

π GOAT
β»οΈGreatest of all time
GOAT is an acronym that stands for "Greatest of all time." You will most likely see the acronym in sports discussions when people are referencing the greatest athlete in a particular sport. You can also use GOAT to describe something that is really good, like a piece of pizza or TV show.
The acronym commonly appears in forums or on social media to discuss the best person or thing.
While GOAT is typically used sincerely to brag about someone or something, it may also be used sarcastically to make fun of a person or thing that is terrible.
For more fun and flare, add the goat emoji next to the GOAT acronym.
Famous GOAT Debates
There may be no greater pastime than debating who or what is the best of all-time, whether it be sports, movies, TV, music, or food. Here are some of the most famous GOAT debates:
Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James
This is one of the most famous GOAT discussions, especially come NBA playoff time. Supporters compare stats, dominance, competition at the time, quality of teammates, influence, and of course, championships. Just like the conflict in the Middle East, this will never be resolved.
The Godfather vs. The Shawshank Redemption
This one comes from IMDb (Internet Movie Database), which is an online database of movies and actors.
Users are allowed to rate how good or bad they think a movie is and these two movies are at the top of the list. Part of this is actually due to fans of The Godfather and The Dark Knight down voting the other movie in an attempt to get to number 1.
This opened the door for The Shawshank Redemption, which is one of the most played movies on cable TV. Get busy voting or get busy dying.
Chicago style pizza vs. New York style pizza
This GOAT debate is all about preference. You got the Chicago style, also known as deep dish, with an abundance of tomato sauce, cheese, and assorted toppings. Then you have the exact opposite with New York style thin crust, tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. Can we just agree that both taste great?
Other GOAT Claims
Kanye West interrupts T Swift
Probably the most shocking GOAT claim ever was when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift after she won the VMA for Best Female Video.
He claimed that BeyoncΓ© should have won because she had one of the greatest music videos of all time. His outburst birthed the "Imma let you finish" meme.
Muhammad Ali announces that he is the GOAT
We go all the way back to 1964 for the infamous interview with Muhammad Ali after he upset Sonny Liston. Ali declared that "I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived." Not much humility in that statement but there's no denying that he was the GOAT.
βExample
This hamburger is the goat!!
