How well do you know teen slang?

Congrats! You are correct! "Ohio" means something is weird or creepy.

From Know Your Meme: Ohio vs. The World refers to a series of memes which speculate on an unknown danger centered around the state of Ohio, and Ohio scheming to take over the world.

The meme image that they say started it all:

Your cool meter just went down, if that's possible. You are incorrect.

Ooh that cool meter is HOT. You are correct. Sus means:

Suspicious or suspect.

Ever wondered why your teen says their teacher is 'sus' after a surprise pop quiz? 'Sus' is short for 'suspicious,' so apparently, that pop quiz has created some serious trust issues.

I'm sorry. You're terrible at this. Sus means:

Suspicious or suspect.

You are correct! Cringe means:

Awkward or embarrassing. 

Did you get this right because you've been on the receiving end of this phrase? Don't be embarrassed. We have been called cringe too. We're not judging, we're just parents.

That's kind of cringe you missed this TBH. Cringe means:

Awkward or embarrassing. 

You are correct! Skibidi Toilet references:

An animated video series that has amassed 65 billion YouTube views.

And can you believe that number? We did a doubletake when we saw that. This dumb series of videos of heads singing in a toilet have amassed 65 BILLION — that's with a B — views on YouTube.

Skibidi has gone on to be a nonsense word, and can mean everything from cool to evil. Listen for the context to figure it out.

Here's the original Skibidi Toilet video if you're not one of the 65 billion who has already seen one of them:

Congrats! You're correct. How very sigma of you. Sigma means:

Not much of anything, or everything. Could mean 'that's cool,' or 'that sucks.' Or they could be just filling awkward quiet space with words.

The term "Sigma" started as a description of a popular or good looking boy, but has evolved to mean ... not much of anything. At least according to one middle school teacher who hears it on the reg. Hear his explanation of the word's origin and how it's (d)evolved.

I'm sorry! You're incorrect. What the sigma.

Congrats! You are correct about your mewing meaning.

Mewing means:

A technique that is supposed to improve facial aesthetics.

Mewing is a method where you position your tongue against the roof of your mouth, purportedly to alter your jawline's shape. This practice has gained traction online, particularly on TikTok, with fans of the practice suggesting it may enhance breathing and address orthodontic problems. But scientific validation for these claims? Not so much.

One issue? When you're mewing, you can't talk. Or maybe that's a benefit? We'll let you decide.

Wow look at the rizz on you! You are correct. Rizz means:

Charming or very cool.

Don't pat yourself on the back too hard though — this word, which is believed to have started as a way to shorten "charisma" and can also mean someone is good at flirting, has reached such heights of popularity it was even added to Merriam-Webster in 2023.

You should be deeply ashamed to miss this one as it's the most common on our list. Rizz means:

Charming or very cool.

How bad is it you didn't know this? This word, shortened from "charisma," has reached such heights of popularity it was even added to Merriam-Webster in 2023.

You are correct, no cap!

No cap means: 

No exaggeration or lie.

Conversely? If someone is "capping," that means they're not telling the truth.

Congrats! Looks like you know that no matter how well you've done on this quiz, it's likely you've failed to achieve any semblance of cool status.

Big yikes means:

Something that is super uncool or bad.

Much like most of what you do, taking this quiz is likely a "big yikes" moment in the eyes of your teen. But don’t worry. It's all part of the fun of parenting.

How'd you do on the quiz? Hopefully you found out just how cool (or uncool) you are, and learned a few facts along the way to better decode convos with your kids.
