Doge
A doge is a dog. A Shiba Inu, to be exact. It's like, OK. Imagine what goes on in a dog's brain. Now imagine if that dog could verbalize those thoughts. That's a doge.
Twerking
Well, twerking is a type of dance. You just… you bend over, and… you know what? Show me the pictures from your trip to Orlando again. Those were great.
GIFs
A GIF is like a flip book. It's a little animation with no sound, and you can watch it until you're bored.
Snapchat
A snapchat is a picture you send someone that deletes itself after a few seconds.
"I use it mostly for sending top-secret casserole recipes. That is not at all a lie, Grandma."
Dubstep
Dubstep is music. Dance music. Beat-driven. What'd you say? Duke Ellington? No, it's not like Duke Ellington.
DIY
OK, crafting! You know crafting. DIY stands for "Do It Yourself," and it's often young people trying to save money by knitting their own leg warmers and filling mason jars with things.
Cronut
A cronut is a mix between a croissant and a donut. People in New York City waited in line for hours for these things. Apparently they're very good.
Celebrity Cats
These are cats on the internet that have a lot of fans. Usually they have some sort of structural flaw. Yeah — that sounds mean. But it's not.
Selfie
A selfie is a picture that you take of yourself. You can either hold your arm out and take it, or you can take it in the mirror. It's a purely self-indulgent act. If you had a camera in the forties, you would have done it.
Pinning
If you see something on the internet that you like, you can "pin it," which is basically saving it to a giant, limitless, virtual bulletin board.
Hashtag
Oh boy. OK. When you tweet — ugh, wait...
Tweet
A tweet is a short little thought you can put on the internet. Only a couple of sentences. Like a fortune cookie.
Back to Hashtag
When you tweet, you can put a little label on the tweet — something like #blueberrypie — so people can find your tweet if they search #blueberrypie, and anyone else that happens to be tweeting about #blueberrypie. You know what? Don't worry about hashtags.
Now wrap your head around this tasty new Smirnoff beverage.
