Millennial Slang. What is it? Can I learn?

If you were born sometime before 1990 or were raised under a boulder. You may be asking yourself what are these odd and unique words that everyone is saying now? What is their meaning? Am I able to say then correctly without being too awkward? The answer is YES! Lingo and slang are words that just roll off the tongue. They can be abbreviations, words taken on with a different meaning, or just something that you have no idea how stoned the person was when they said it. Every generation has their own version of "slang" words.

Different groups or clicks of people have their own slang that varies from others. Since I am trans and know mostly of the LGBT slang that happens that will be the basis of this post.

Here are a few examples of some modern LGBT slang words and definitions that you may have heard.

1. Werk- A congratulatory declaration of support, praise or approval, for an outstanding achievement in any area of life.
   Example: Girl, I just got a promotion to manager at McDonald's! WERK!!!

2. Dead- When you're passed the point of something being hilariously funny; when you've laughed as hard as you possibly can.
