12 English slang terms everyone needs in 2021

Let’s take a look at the some of the English slang terms you should know in 2021:

Miss Rona

If you’ve had enough of seeing the word ‘Coronavirus’ everywhere, at least you can escape it on social media, where it has been transformed into the infinitely more appealing ‘Miss Rona’. For example, if you are going to miss out on doing something, you can blame it on ‘Miss Rona’.

Flex

This may be an oldie but it’s still relevant for 2021. In English, you ‘flex’ your muscles when you’re showing them off. A while back, Post Malone decided that ‘flex’ should also be used anytime you’re being a showoff or being extravagant.

That ain’t it

When you see something that’s just plain wrong, whether it’s someone taking a joke too far, or doing something that makes you think ‘ewww’, then ‘that ain’t it’ is the phrase you need.

Mutuals

‘Mutuals’ are two people who follow each other on social media. Shared interests mean they provide a mutual support network online, and people will often call on their ‘mutuals’ to help raise the profile of a band or singer, for example, or to get enough replies to make their post trend.

Sleeping on

If you’re ‘sleeping on’ someone or something, you’re not giving them the attention they deserve or failing to appreciate them. It’s often used to highlight what’s being ignored or overlooked.

Hits different

If something feels more intense than usual, it ‘hits different’. So, if you feel emotional listening to a song, you’ve heard a thousand times before but not since you broke up, it ‘hits different’.  The expression can also be used when you want to describe something that is better – maybe you rate the coffee from your favourite coffee shop because ‘hits different’ – but it tends to be kept for big, emotional moments.

Big yikes

Sometimes, a plain old ‘yikes’ just doesn’t cut it. When you’re really surprised or embarrassed or even amazed, you will want to yell ‘big yikes!’ This versatile phrase has already been around for a couple of years and is the perfect response to statements from ‘How did your driving test go?’ to ‘Is that your ex-boyfriend?’.

Go off

We can all get annoyed, but if you lose control, you might ‘go off’, which means to have a rant or complain angrily. Perhaps you’re getting really bad service in a restaurant or a shop and lose your patience. This phrase has been around a long time, but it’s definitely having a moment this year!

Simp

A boy who will do pretty much anything to get a girl to show him some attention might get called out for being a ‘simp’. The term is hotly debated because, let’s be honest, shouldn’t we be celebrating people who do nice things? You can also use the phrase ironically to show how much you like a particular celebrity; for example.

CEO of

CEO really means ‘Chief Executive Officer’, but TikTokers have begun calling other TikTokers the ‘CEO of’ anything random in the comments section on videos.

We move

When you just keep on going, no matter what, then you should pull out the phrase “We move”. This handy term is also be used to signal agreement.

Cap

Cap means lie. It started after ‘no cap’, which means ‘no lie’, became popular a few years ago. If someone posts something on social media that you know is untrue, the answer is ‘cap’. Most people use the blue cap emoji instead of the words.
