From 'Sigma skibbidy rizz' to 'slaying the boots house down' a new slang guidebook has been launched for older generations to finally 'lock in'.
The island's 12 to 18-year-olds have joined forces with the Youth Commission and Art for Guernsey to create a book for Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers.
'Spilling the lingo' aims to bridge the ever-growing gap between the age groups so family members, teachers and people who interact regularly with children can speak to them and understand what they say.
Sian Jones from the Youth Commission says conversations with younger people can be confusing.
"This book has given the young people an opportunity to choose their own Gen Z word or slang and then illustrate a picture, which they link with that, and a short poem underneath.
"It's just fantastic to see all the young people who've contributed this and the engagement from teachers and staff - it's been a great project.
"[The poems and pictures have been] put into a book, published and available to buy on Amazon."
Guernsey's secondary school children submitted 150 words and phrases for the book and 60 were chosen to be published.
Island FM spoke to a group of children who described what the project was like:
I found it really fun to use my creativity, [but] I found the poems hard.
- Elvi, 12
We were telling them all the words we had to include.
Then we had to draw a picture of our word and write a poem about it.
- Orla, 12
I didn't expect my work would ever be in a book.
When I came here I was like 'Oh my God, that's my work!'
- Red, 12
'Spilling the Lingo' book cover
The new book is described as a 'playful' exploration of slang words created by students in Guernsey.
It celebrates 'creativity, humour and depth of modern language' trends in a way that is 'entertaining' and 'educational' for other generations.
From “spill the tea” to “on fleek”, this book dives into the language shaping youth culture, providing a fun comparison between casual expressions and their professional counterparts.
Perfect for word lovers and the curious alike.
