If you are not Gen Z or Gen Alpha, you might get lost when they are talking to you. This year, there were quite a few that trended; some came from viral social media videos, reality TV shows and other sources.
One thing about Gen Zs and Gen Alpha and their slang is it’s constantly evolving. 
These trending slangs in 2025 could make a millennial and boomer scratch their brains wondering what’s up; that’s why I’m sharing the Gen Z slangs of 2025 and their meaning, so you can aura farm and clock their tea. Let’s get into it.
1. Clock it or clock that tea
It’s the Gen Z way of saying ‘you got it’. This is also accompanied by a hand gesture that involves your thumb and index finger.

2. Aura or aura farming
‘Aura’ is similar to the word ‘vibe’, which just means having a cool air around you. Aura farming is when you are doing something to increase your aura, like wearing a nice outfit and posing in a certain way.
3. Eats or ate
This is not about actually eating food; it just means you look good. “The outfit eats,” or “She ate that up”; these two sentences are referring to fashion.
4. Rage bait
This is Oxford’s word of the year, and it basically means being a nuisance online and getting people angry. Before a social media post annoys you ask yourself whether it’s rage bait or not.

5. Lock in
This just means you are taking your life seriously and giving your goals full attention. For instance, this coming year is a good time to look in.
6. Chopped
This means you don’t look too good. Be careful when a Gen Z says that to you. If they do, ‘You’re chopped!’
7. Crash out
This is overreacting because someone annoyed or upset you. Some crash outs are valid and others are not.
Now you are versed in 2025 Gen Z lingo.
