Language is constantly evolving, and nowhere is that more evident than in the fast-changing world of slang. In Louisiana and across the nation, teens and young adults are shaping conversations with phrases that often originate from TikTok, gaming streams, and viral videos.

A recent study by Unscramblerer.com highlights the slang terms generating the most searches both locally and nationally this year.

Louisiana’s Top Slang Searches

From basketball courts to school hallways, these are the words topping Louisiana’s slang charts:

  • 6-7 – With roots in Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6 7)” and boosted by NBA player LaMelo Ball’s viral video, this absurd chant is shouted by kids and teens as part of “brainrot” humor.
  • Chopped – A go-to insult for anything ugly or undesirable.
  • Sigma – A nod to the “lone wolf,” someone seen as independent and outside traditional social groups.
  • Chuzz – A mashup of “chopped” and “huzz,” used to describe an unattractive girl.
  • Bop – Refers to someone seen as promiscuous or presenting themselves online in an immodest way.
  • Sybau – A harsh shorthand for “Shut your b---h ass up.”
  • Clanker – A jab at robots or AI, including chatbots.
  • Unc – Short for “uncle,” a playful way to call someone old.
  • Mogging – Outclassing someone else by looks, skill, or status.
  • Glazing – Calling out excessive, insincere flattery.

America’s Most Popular Slang

Nationally, many of the same words trend, though the list broadens to include terms born out of memes, gaming, and online communities. “6-7” leads the pack with over 141,000 searches, followed by “bop” and “mogging.” Other standouts include:

  • Huzz – An attractive girl or group of girls, with origins tied to a more derogatory past use.
  • Big back – A lighthearted jab at someone seen as sluggish or gluttonous.
  • Fanum tax – Popularized by streamer Fanum, meaning playfully stealing food from a friend.
  • Green FN – Gaming slang for a perfect play, often shouted after a big basketball shot.
  • Delulu – Short for “delusional,” describing unrealistic hopes in love or fame.

A Reflection of Culture

A spokesperson for Unscramblerer.com put it this way: “Slang in 2025 continues to be heavily influenced by TikTok, Instagram, gaming, and streaming. Fueled by technology, language adapts more rapidly than ever. Slang is a fun mirror of our culture.”
