<< review queue entry 69168 - submitted by 'aaronwong' >> "on fleek" sounds more slangy than "awesome". --------------------------------------- Editor: Usage of "on fleek" seems to be fading. Also, it seems to mean "done to perfection" (especially in relation to grooming), and I'm not sure that's quite what 屌爆 means. Two of us editors were unfamiliar with "on fleek". I asked my son (who's in his mid 20s). He suggested that you don't hear the term so much these days. Here's a quote from 2017: <<“On Fleek” is a great example. It’s only a few years old (On Fleek was born June 21, 2014), but I don’t really see it online anymore. It’s starting to drop out of use. And that’s how language generally works, words that are overnight on fire, and then burn out quick. [...] If it had sustained use, we could we put “On Fleek” in the dictionary right now.>> https://www.inverse.com/article/29217-kory-stamper-word-by-word-on-fleek-merriam-webster-dictionaries-definition-of-on-fleek Well, it's not in the dictionary (Merriam-Webster) as of 2021, so they evidently haven't seen sustained usage. Also, see this graph, which is consistent with the notion that "on fleek" is gradually fading into oblivion. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=on%20fleek Anyway, users can translate "awesome" into their own vernacular if they wish. In Australian First Nations parlance, that might be "deadly", for example. "in Aboriginal English, deadly means awesome or great." https://spiritsredsand.com/2018/02/19/aboriginal-culture-language-101/ |
