Although it can’t be named, we’ve all heard the lingo whether it was from your friends or from your parents who still think that they can fit in with a crowd of wild teenagers.

 

The language might not make sense, but neither does the fact that feet smell and noses run. Here are a few more phrases and words so you, too, can sound as cool as me.

 

I can’t even. In some twisted way this actually makes sense. It basically means… that you can’t. Not that you can’t do something like fly or change a tire, but that you’re either really mad or laughing too hard to actually explain anything.

 

An example is: “I can’t even,” says Penelope as she laughed until she farted at something that wasn’t funny at all. You should probably practice using this phrase because if you say it in the wrong context, chances are your friends will walk away from you and never come back. But not because of the fart, but your improper use of Hipster language.

 

Can you not? If you’ve never said can you not before you’re either an extremely intellectual individual who only says things that come out of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary or you live under a round brown rock with Patrick the Star.

 

People usually say these words when they want someone to stop doing something. So, if you find yourself in the same position as Juliet when Romeo is asking her to marry him, the only thing you need to say is, “Can you not?”

 

You’re doing the most right now. This is by far my favorite line. It pretty much means you are going totally over board. For example, if you’re doing a coloring assignment (because for some reason teachers still assign these) and you decide it would be cute to trace it with marker, color it with crayon, and then shade it with colored pencils, you would definitely be doing the most.

 

Mad Dogging. Mad dogging is facial expression caused by disgust. (Don’t make it, you’re already ugly.)

 

What is my life even about? If you were to take the honest route, your answer would probably sound like: “You have no life,” which is true for most high school kids these days. I find myself asking the same question every hour or so because if I had a life I wouldn’t be writing about high school lingo 101.You’re welcome.
