Such a mood

Boss made you mad? Rage-apply for other jobs. Date is hotter IRL than on the app? You just got reverse-catfished. We now have words for every situation and emotion. As dictionaries groan and Boomers cringe, grab a fridge cigarette and follow our guide to 2025 slang

- Sneha Krishnan

Keep up. Language is changing fast. And the internet generation is inventing new terms faster than you can say “Delulu is the solulu”.

Some terms have escaped the group chat and are out in the wild, confusing Boomers in the workplace. Others have become oddly specific micro-labels for micro moments of modern life.

So, how many of these can you figure out?

Fridge Cigarette

Sounds like: Some kind of chilled vape.

Actually is: A cola. Bad for your health (and addictive) just like a cig. But sourced from the refrigerator. A coping mechanism.

Usage: “Didn't cry. Hada fridge cigarette.”

Banana Botox

Sounds like: An injection endorsed by a celeb.
