If 2025 taught us anything, it's that the Internet will always find new ways to confuse, amuse, and unite us with fresh slang. From chaotic, nonsensical jokes to takedowns and compliments, these terms dominated For You Pages (FYPs), timelines, and DMs everywhere. Scroll on to decode the words that shaped how many of us talked this year.

10. Glazing

Glazing refers to excessively praising or sucking up to someone in a way that feels forced or embarrassing. The term spread across TikTok, Twitch, and Discord in the early 2020s as users called out overly eager compliments.

9. Slay

A term that remains strong in 2025, slay is used to compliment someone's confidence, style, or ability to "own it." It's short, catchy, and has retained its place in pop culture, whether boosting a friend in texts, commenting on a TikTok outfit, or hyping up someone's success online.

8. Zesty

Zesty describes something lively, energetic, or slightly chaotic in a fun way. The term saw renewed popularity in 2025, driven by viral TikTok edits and online commentary.

7. Bop

A bop isn't just a catchy song; it's a person who bounces from one romantic partner to another, often playfully (but sometimes derogatorily) called out in texts or social media posts. Bop is widely used among Gen Z and younger audiences to describe flirtatious, noncommittal behavior.

6. Mogging

Mogging comes from online culture and refers to outshining or "dominating" someone, especially in terms of looks, skills, or status. Used heavily in fitness, gaming, and meme communities, mogging is part brag and part playful competition.

5. Brain rot

Brain rot (or "brainrot") describes content, media, or experiences that are fun but mind-numbing—perfect for a TikTok binge or late-night meme scrolling. It's widely referenced in online communities to acknowledge that something may be "bad for your brain" but irresistibly entertaining.

4. Huzz

Huzz is a 2025 favorite for describing one or more females a person finds attractive. Trending across TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, it's become shorthand for describing visually appealing females (some people also use it in a derogatory manner) in social media conversations.

3. Chopped

Chopped is slang for something that looks unattractive, unappealing, or generally "messed up," as if it's been badly cut or ruined. Common in fashion, beauty, and roasting culture, it's usually used playfully, though it can land as an insult if the tone isn't friendly.

2. AI

AI was everywhere in 2025, driven by chatbots, image generators, and LLMs like CGPT. The term isn't just about artificial intelligence; it's shorthand in conversations about tech, memes, or even ethical debates. Variants like "AIO" and "GenAI" or insults like "clanker" and "slop" also emerged, highlighting how integrated AI is in both digital and meme culture this year.

1. 67

The breakout viral sensation of 2025, "67" (also written as six-seven or 6-7), became a meme, trend, and conversation starter seemingly overnight, especially among Gen Alpha. This nonsensical phrase was everywhere, including in tweets, TikTok captions, YouTube comments, Discord servers, and meme compilations, and is often used as a versatile filler or punchline in jokes, references, or challenges online. Its viral power earned it the top spot as the year's most talked-about slang.
