Keeping up with modern life wasn't easy. We've got the terms you need to know...
Grazia Glossary
Climate strike
On the rise since its 2015 debut, thanks to green teen activist Greta.
Self-care
Doing nice things, but letting social media know about it.
Hun
Uttered by most of us as a joke at first and now, genuinely, what we call each other. Yes, it's short for honey. No, that doesn't mean you should spell it hon.
Glamping
Camping, but being able to charge your phone.
Tweakment
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures like Botox, fillers, peels. Designed to make you look younger, but, can make you look older. The workaround reason your childhood faves still look 35 and claim, 'I've not had any surgery' with a straight(ish) face.
Woke
It's not enough to be awake to life 18 hours a day – now you have to be awake to issues too, especially on social media. A virtue – because if you're not woke enough you could end up being…
Basic
God forbid you be basic – as in, do or like something about five minutes after it came into existence and is therefore no longer cool. But to be fair, pumpkin lattes are quite basic.
Cancelled
Previously the preserve of events, people (mainly celebrities) can now be cancelled (i.e. boycotted, but sounds less local paper) for not being woke enough. The main reason to keep your Spotify playlist, perhaps now filled with problematic faves, private.
Brexit
If you don't know what it means, just think yourself lucky. See also: Prorogue, remoaner, backstop.
Manspreading
Scourge of public transport; finally we had a name for it. Different to, and yet with many of the same practitioners, as 'mansplaining'.
Crossfit
We'd love to tell you what it is, but whenever someone starts talking about it, we fall asleep.
Fake news
Sometimes fake information proliferated by shady groups to create fear and generate votes. Sometimes indisputable facts that President Trump doesn't like. See also: Deepfake (digital images or videos designed to deceive. Yes, we're all living in an episode of Black Mirror.)
LOL
Officially stands for: laugh out loud (not lots of love, Mum). Really stands for: not sure what else to say back to your WhatsApp message.
Meme
The only way that, in 10 years, we'll be able to process thoughts, news and emotions.
Uber
The only acceptable form of transport between 8pm and 6am, when it's raining, or up to three days after payday.
Crowdfunding
When you want to do something, but you can't be bothered to draw up a business plan and ask the bank for a loan.
Femtech
For millennia, everything has been based around men. Now, there are some things designed for the other half of the population. So, they've been given a name – femtech. Instead of, you know, just… tech.
Squad
Formerly people who hung out with Taylor Swift before she was branded a snake and they all ditched each other. Latterly groups of girls who love each other, Sauv Blanc and telling everyone on Instagram.
WhatsApp: A bit like having a relationship with your friends, but if you were sat at home, alone, never seeing any of them.
