15 English Slang Words You NEED TO KNOW in 2020 (Speak Like a Native)

15 English slang words that you absolutely have to know in 2020 in order to understand TikTokers, YouTubers, and other cool people on this planet. These terms are used in American, British and Australian English.

(1) Lit. When something is exciting, really enjoyable, you can say it’s “lit.”

(2) GOAT. It is an acronym of Greatest Of All Time.

(3) Snatched. When someone is wearing something that is very fashionable or has a look that looks really good.

(4) On fleek. This can be used as a replacement for "on point," meaning something has been perfectly done.

(5) Salty. You can say someone is salty when they get upset or angry over something.

(6) Fit. Unlike the British version of the term "fit," which means attractive, in the United States, "fit" is just the shortened version of the word "outfit".

(7) Dead. As slang, it means that something is so funny or ridiculously good it's forced you to be hyperbolic.

(8) Fire. It is used to refer to something that is really cool and amazing.

(9) Low-key. This can be used as a replacement for "quiet," "modest," "not very assertive."

(10) High-key. It is the opposite of low-key.

(12) Savage. This word is used as internet slang when describing a shocking event or a careless attitude.

(13) Shook. When someone is shook it means they are shocked or incredibly surprised.

(14) Slay. To "slay" is to do really well or succeed at something.

(15) Stan. "Stan" can be a noun for an overzealous and obsessive fan, and a verb meaning to be that kind of fan. It originated from an Eminem song of the same name.

Some advice for non-native speakers: It is important to learn slang terms so you know what others are saying, but I recommend that you do not use them. You will most definitely get the use wrong and just sound like an old person trying to talk like the kids.

Lit can be used in two other ways as well. Like “I’m so lit right now, ” as in; I’m very high or drunk. Also gamers use it to tell their teammates they’re injured. “I’m lit! I’m lit!”

I think GOAT is used mostly for people rather than things, so saying that a video is GOAT sounds strange to me.

[Lucas-wgid]

I'd really like everyone that speaks English, speak like her. I can understand 98% of what she's saying.
