● Aliveadj.
Cooked
Finished, doomed, beyond help. Applies to a person, a country or a group project with equal ease, which is why it stuck.

Brainrot
Content optimised past the point of meaning, and the mental state of having consumed it. The first internet term that is also a self-diagnosis.

Cringe
Second-hand embarrassment, as a noun, a verdict and a genre — from a verb to 'that's cringe' by 2015 and to the opposite of 'based' by 2020. The record's entry for the feeling that became a measurement.

Skibidi
An intensifier with no fixed meaning, derived from a series about heads in toilets. The purest example yet of a word that means only that you are the sort of person who says it.

Aura
Charisma measured in points, gained and lost in public. Minus 1,000 aura for explaining it, which this entry has just done.

Delulu
Delusional, affectionately, about your own prospects. Delulu is the solulu; the rare slang term that is also a coping strategy.

Gyatt
An exclamation at a large backside, from a streamer's pronunciation of 'goddamn', which became one of the first words of Gen Alpha slang and the one their parents were most alarmed to learn. Dying since the parents learned it.
