Researchers at Unscramblerer.com used Google Trends to discover the top trending slang words and how often Wyomingites googled them.

The craziest part is that most of the words aren't slang that teens use, but even the mainstream media and adults use them. I'll admit that I've had to look up what almost every word on the list meant.

Does our language change so often that we cannot keep up?

A spokesperson for Unscramblerer.com explains.

The English language is ever changing. Every year new slang words are created. Many slang words are born through trending topics and viral videos on social media. However only few manage to stick around long enough to be added to the dictionary and remain in daily use. Slang words are a normal and fun evolution of language. We encourage everyone to learn some new words and surprise their children by using them.

Ahhhh, viral videos on social media are to thank for this list of slang words, and many of us needed help figuring out what they meant.
