9 Slang Words You Should Stop Using If You Don't Want to Look Lame AF in 2018

This phrase is often overused to express something fun. For example, "The office party last night was lit." We think it's time to put the flame out on this term next year.

Once our grandparents learned the definition of "Netflix and chill" it instantly became the most uncool thing to say. Period.

Usually refers to a person or thing that is no longer relevant. You've probably been "canceled" before without even realizing it. We nominate this term for cancellation (pun intended) in the new year.

Scream Queens actress Keke Palmer popularized this phrase in 2016 by using it frequently in her Snapchat videos and on late-night television. The witty phrase is just a comical way of saying "the catch is" before revealing something truthful. This phrase was cute for a while, but the gag is, we can do without it in 2017.

DJ Khaled took over social media with his "major key" alerts this year. A major key is basically information that is vital to achieving success in your every day life — like making sure you drink enough water. No, seriously. . . Give us the keys to lock this phrase behind in 2016.

We all probably know that one person who thinks everything is "shade" when it really isn't. Shade is a term created by gay men which describes a statement that can be interpreted as a dis towards someone. We say enough with the shade throwing in 2017.

To be overwhelming impressed with something, or someone, is the same thing as being shook. This term was heavily used in the '90s to describe being afraid of someone, and somehow made a comeback in 2016 under a new meaning. This is one throwback we'd literally like to throw back — forever.

Even as a member of Beyoncé's beyhive, I have to admit the term "slay" has lost its fierce meaning: to do something exceptionally well. While I'll always love listening to "Formation", can we please stop captioning Instagram photos with "I Slay" in 2017? Thanks.
