🔘 Swag

What does swag mean?


◻️Skills or style

 Swag is a term that refers to a person's sense of style or skills. It is derived from "swagger" and was made popular by hip-hop culture.
Swag is usually preceded by a hashtag (#) and used profusely on Twitter, commony to brag. Because of its popularity, there has been backlash causing many to use it for ironic or mocking purposes.


Example
Yo, that dude's got so much swag, it's not even fair
Nah, he's lame he just rips off other people's looks

🔘 L2P

What does L2P stand for?

◻️Learn to play

Gamers are most likely to use L2P to mean "learn to play." Specifically, they're most likely to use L2P while telling noobs to stop sucking and git gud.
However, you may also encounter L2P in other contexts. For example, a friend who is teaching themself how to play piano may say "I want to L2P piano; I found some online resources." Or, a gamer may (kindly) prompt you to L2P their favorite game, so you can play together.


Example
Hey, why don't you log off and L2P? You're killing us out there
Hey, why don't you get bent?

🔘 Wonky

What does wonky mean?

◻️Weird

When something seems strange or out of character, it is "wonky." For example, when you push down your car's accelerator and the car makes a clunking sound, you might tell your mechanic that it's acting wonky (and they will then roll their eyes).
It is unclear where wonky comes from, but some scholars say it dates back to the "wankul" word in Proto-West Germanic, which means "shaky or unstable." Over the years, the word has evolved into the non-technical "wonky" term, which people use when describing something off-kilter or behaving strangely.
Examples of things that may be wonky include a picture frame on a wall, any machinery, flooring, and bizarre food. Additionally, people acting odd may be wonky, like your uncle Bruno or that pirate Captain Jack Sparrow.


Example
The school cafeteria lunch looked a little wonky today, so I didn't eat it
I did and I'm regretting it
