CNA commentary on Gen Z slang

I was confused when Kamala Harris was suddenly labelled as a “brat” on social media.

But hey, that’s why Gen Z and Gen Alpha keep coming up with new slang words – to keep us Gen X geezers out of their conversations.

CNA invited me to pen this commentary on how Gen Z slang is transforming the US presidential elections (Yo, Trump is stumped), and whether older people should use such slang words to engage young people (TLDR: don’t be “cringey”).

Thank you to Alison Jenner and the CNA team for this opportunity!
