We are living in a weird world right now, which is giving us a lot of new slang terms. You've probably heard of the quarantine-15, but how many of these other ones have you heard of? BestLife put together a full list:
- Zumping - This is the breaking up via Zoom since most people can't meet up in person these days.
- Covidiot - This refers to people who are not taking the pandemic seriously.
- COVID-15 - Eating a little more during quarantine? You're not alone. People are home all day, so they're snacking more and gaining weight as a result.
- Rona - This is just the shortening of "coronavirus"
- Coronacation - You've heard of a "staycation," where people take vacation at home, and this inspired coronacation
- Doomscrolling - This is scrolling through social media reading stories about how scary life is during this pandemic
- Quarantini - This is just a martini or alcoholic drink you have while in quarantine
- Zoom-Bombing - If you've been doing a lot of zoom calls lately, hopefully you haven't experience this. People are hacking into people's zoom calls and often shouting racist or offensive things.
- Iso - Short for "isolation."
- Coronials - They're saying there could be a baby boom in 9 months because of this pandemic, so the word for those babies is "coronials."
