your textbook that was published in 1950, you probably don't sounds like a native speaker.

and you'll see it right there. Okay! So, let's get to the top five slang
7

00:56
words for 2016. Number One is "extra". Keep in mind, you probably
8
56190
8350
01:04
already know the word "extra", but this is a new use of the word as slang. That's what
9
64540
5840
01:10
slang is, right? It's taking a word that we already have and using it another way. So
10
70380

01:16
"extra" means "trying too hard, or being over the top". Okay? "Oh, that's extra! That's
11
76290
8640
01:24
too much!" It's negative. It's not a good thing.
12
84930

01:29
Number Two is "OTP". This is an abbreviation that stands for "one true pairing", a couple
13
89780
9750
01:39
that you are emotionally invested in. Forever, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are my OTP. Who is your
14
99530
9320
01:48
OTP? You can tell me in the comments. Next: "Netflix and chill". This phrase has
15
108850
6940
01:55
been in use for a little while. What it means is -- and I think it'll continue to be in
16
115790
6560
02:02
use throughout 2016 -- what it means is inviting someone over to your home for a romantic encounter,
17
122350
8230
02:10
but pretending you will just watch streaming movies and hang out.
18

Next is number Four: "snatched". It's used to describe something that looks really good.
19
137120
8350
02:25
It's the new "on fleek" and "on fleek" is the new "on point" and "on point" is the new
20
145470
6630
02:32
"cool". So, you just learned a lot of new slang words there.
21

02:36
Number Five... finally, our last one -- is "hunty". "Hunty" means your best friend, someone
22
156819
7961
02:44
you always hang out with. You have a group of "hunties".
