WATCH: Irish grannies explaining internet slang will make your day!

Earlier today the news broke that some very interesting additions are being made to the online dictionary, Dictionary.com.

Over 150 new words entries were added today including, of course, ‘fleek’ and ‘yaaas’. 

If you were wondering how one would define the terms, and many more, fleek is defined as “flawlessly styled, groomed, etc.”

The internet’s obsession with such phrases is often comical, but for some it can be overwhelming. To be fair, there seems to be a new phrase to add to our repertoire daily. Think about it, this time last year did you know what ‘squad goals’ meant?

Would your granny know what fleek means? Probably not. 

Innocent Drinks put some lovely Irish grannies to the test and asked them to make sense of some of those phrases the teens are using these days.

The video is to raise awareness for Innocent Drinks’ Big Knit. 

Over the past six years, the Irish public has knit 390,000 little hats for the Big Knit and has helped raise €120,000 for Age Action who help older people stay warm and well during the harsh conditions of our Irish winters.

They created a short film featuring four lovely knitters trying to navigate their way around today’s “confusing maze of teen vernacular”.

The results were obviously hilarious, and we just had to share the video.
