It all began when Sam Salem posted a video where he created his own slang words with plans to trick his students into believing the words were a new slang being used by Gen Z and Gen AlphaYou may or may not have heard words like"pebbles" or"parked" being used in Gen Z or Gen Alpha slang, but the origins of those words don't actually come from either generation.
"I used to be full time teacher, now I substitute teach and it is funny hearing all the the slang that students use and it makes me feel old and it's like the first time in my life ... where I'm like, 'Am I old now? Am I, like, not understanding what the slang is?'" Salem told NBC Chicago.
"It really I just will be driving around in my car commuting and one will just pop into my head and I'm like, 'I'll go with that one,'" Salem said. "Someone commented like, 'Hey, they just said pebbles on SportsCenter. And I'm just like, 'OK, you must have misheard,'" Salem said."He's like, yeah, 'We were watching film and it was all pebbles.' So ... that's the craziest part about social media is, you know? You just put something out there being like, 'Alright, this will be funny for myself and my followers and then all of a sudden it just took on a life of its own," Salem said.
But the series may not have a long-lasting future as Salem said his students are beginning to catch on.
