Image source

There are so many new words that has entered the social media sphere that have been funny and straight up annoying *insert fitting emoji*. I've put together a list of words, sayings and phrases that have been used (or in some cases overused) this year. In no particular order, READY?...LETS GO!!

1. Bae
   When I first saw this on twitter I thought it was an acronym (before anyone else) but then I soon learnt it couldn't be because of how people used it lol. This one has become annoying and overused! N.B. its the Danish word for poop
2. Yassss
   This is a enthused yes lol but its you letting someone know that they got it, that hairstyle, outfit or whatever has your seal of approval. The use of more of less "s'" it dependant on how emphatic you want it to be!
3. Bye Felicia
   This originated from the film Friday but was resurrected by Ms Kenya Moore from The Real Housewives of Atlanta in the reunion, then it went viral once again. It's used to dismiss what someone and the icing on the cake is the great likelihood that persons name is not Felicia ahaha.
4. Boy/Gurl Bye
   To me this is used to dismiss what a person says like a Yeh, K whatever.
5. The Thirst is real
   Basically meaning that you are craven, desperate used most when talking about someones want for partner or stalkerish type of tendencies. I found this one hilarious as it led to memes and vines of people giving someone water.
6. Bruh
   I am not entirely sure where this came from but I heard it in a vine and it soon was everywhere! There is even an app for the sound effect but generally used in situations you could call peak lol
7. The struggle (is real)
   Oh the struggle! This one is favourite lol it just sums everything up for anything that is difficult or hard to do. For example staying motivated at Uni, the uni struggle is real!
8. Goals
   This one I do believe has been taken too far and needs to stay in 2014! With all the memes and people having relationship goals for foolishness. I saw on twitter that someone hoped to have the goal of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick relationship, need I say more?
9. Doe
   I just don't like this one lol I can not stand when people say this out loud let alone type it.
10. VibeThis is virtually anything! From saying that an event was good (that party was a vibe) to describing your mood(I'm just vibezin).
11. Fleek
    This one made me laugh when I first heard it as I thought it made no sense. However with a little research the word is real and was used in the 17th and 18th century to describe something smooth and sleek. To the rest of us it came from a vine lol!
12. Giving me life
    This is one saying that annoys me to the core! It's so dramatic, God brought your mother and father together to give you life, please stop this nonsense of someone's face or style "giving you life".
13. Turn up 
    Basically having lots of fun, getting a bit wild.
14. Turn down
    This will no and forever more be associated with Lil Jon's song turn down for what!
15. Motive
    This one got on my nerves. Instead of asking What's happening? What's going on or What's the plan? No, its What's the motive? -__-  what is the reason for us going out is what your asking!
    Rant over :)
16. 100 (One hunna)
    I don't think words can express the rage I feel when I hear someone say this. Its normally used when a person is telling the truth, saying something "deep", co-signs on something.

So there you have it folks, my list of words of phrases that were prolific through 2014! I look forward to seeing what new words will enter our vocab in the year to come :)
