After Lorde tweeted "mom" in response to Kim K's Paper cover, everyone was confused by what they thought was Lorde slamming Kardashian for the infamous pic.
“@KimKardashian: #BreakTheInternet http://t.co/3RhAPqJkPn” mom
In reality, the ~hip~ phrase was really Lorde complimenting Kim K. That's right, the latest teen slang on the block is referring to your favorite celebs as "mom."
Omg haha ok so. time to explain this. i retweeted kim's amazing cover and wrote 'MOM', which among the youthz is a compliment; it basically jokingly means "adopt me/be my second mom/i think of you as a mother figure you are so epic" (obviously i love my own mama and she is the best tho) but straight after that i think someone else called out the cover saying kim has no right to look that sexy as she is a mother which is TOTAL trash - why should that stop her?
But 18-year-old Lorde isn't the only one using the hot lingo. When pretty much any major young celeb tweets, you can find a series of endearing "mom" replies from teens.
