Do you feel too old that you can’t keep up with the recent internet jargon? Don’t fret.

A TikTok content creator named Tita G released a “guide” to the new terms mostly being used by the youth today on social media.

She uploaded this guide called “Tita G’s Unofficial Guide: Bagets Slang” on her Facebook page on June 9 to mark her first-year anniversary on the video-sharing service.
