The word I just noticed "everyone" using and with which I'm not yet on board:

[zoobie]

Everything old is new again. My grandmother used it. I use it. Had no idea I was hip!

[Miss Peregrine]

I love salty! DD14 started using last year on the soccer field when a girl was cussing at her and pushing her. 

[Just Kate]

My kids are 13 and 10. The 13 year old will occasionally use the word salty. Both kids have just started using the word savage. I like salty...savage, I'm not so sure.

[Lady Marmalade]

Okay, what's wobble?

 

The Wobble is a dance move.  Kind of like hip-hop and line dancing had a baby.  You can find a tutorial for it on youtube.

I'm a East Coast and this word has been in circulation for years. I remember making our kids explain it to us. They were equal parts annoyed and amused that it was trying to define the exact usage. I eventually settled on "miffed" as a loose synonym. It wasn't the "salty wench" usage of the past or "old salt" like you'd describe an aging Marine, so my brain had to re categorize a word it thought it knew.

No, not West Coast. Rust Belt.

 

I had noticed the word used here and there but my post was that I just noticed that it seems that everyone is using it now. Like it reached critical mass or something.

Oh, you mean like on social media and not just in your area?

[teachermom2834]

My kids have been using it. I have started using it which means it is surely past its time and on its way out.

[LucyStoner]

Okay, what's wobble?

 

Depends.  The first thing I thought when I saw your question was ketamine.  I guess that usage was derived from the way people on lots of "vitamin K" can barely stand.  

 

I'm not thinking that's what Sneezy meant in her sentence.  It can also mean a dance.  Or, because language is so fluid, it can probably be used for about 87 other things I don't know.  

[Sneezyone]

Okay, what's wobble?

A dance craze.😂

[Janie Grace]

My kids have been using it for at least four years.

[bettyandbob]

I have learned to use the word "Awesome". Before, things were "cool" but now, they are "awesome"

Actually, I don't hear awesome anymore (unless I say it). The twenty somethings I work with all say "dope" where you might hear "cool."

[creekland]

Now I want some potato chips or pretzels (sigh).

 

Otherwise, I'm another whose grandparents used salty with this "new" meaning.  It's not new.  It's recycled.

 

The other meaning is tastier though...

[Lanny]

@Diana P    I just used the word "Awesome" because DD got a 100 on the Final Exam for the first semester of her Art course and a 99 for the semester.   :hurray:

That IMO is Awesome.

 

However, I am going to read through this thread, to see if I can pick up a few new words for my vocabulary.
