Definitely fleek! And booboo (used like Dear or Honey) Oh dear, Boo is a popular nickname around here. I don't know if it is a southern thing? You will find a good number of households that have at least one Boo-including mine-and that sometimes will extend into a BooBoo. (My Boo's girlfriend even calls him Boo. )

Boo doesn't bother me as much (definitely a southern thing) but it's the condescending tone of "okay booboo?". My youngest dd does it to me and she gets the look every time.

I call my cat Boo. Or more, Boo Da Boo. Don't ask me why because I don't know. But she answers to it! Her real name is not Boo.
I have no idea what Fleek is? Never ever heard it.
Bae and man-bun are dumb.

Yes to all of the above! The other thing bugging me is the use of "so" to begin every sentence. It seems to have replaced "um" and "like". I may be a Southerner, but have never been fond of Boo. Calling kids Sister or Brother instead of their name drives me nuts. And I really hate when people refer to a baby boy as Little Man. He's a baby, toddler or child. I fully admit that could be a reflex action to hearing my MIL say that all the time.

I, too, have been noticing the frequent use of "So" to start a sentence. Please, make it stop!

I will never understand the hate for irregardless. It's a real word. It's been in the dictionary for over one hundred years (and possibly longer.) the longer word gives emphasis. People who use it aren't misspeaking. The hate lists always include teenage slang. Adults have hated teenage slang for as long as it has existed, which is the point of the slang. If you had asked adults when I was a teen what the stupid words were, Awesome, dude, radical, and oh my heck would have been on the list. Most teenage slang disappears after a few years and slips out of the vocabulary. It's always interesting to see which ones stick. Like awesome. And cool. Who would have thought those would be the long term addition to the language? (but Bae really is dumb.)

I bet my parents hated the words cool, dig it, chill, dude, jive and all the rest.

I'd add "in 3,2,1 go" to the list. I have 6 year old and 2 year old boys, 3,2,1 go is how I get them to do anything faster than their normal snail speed. I probably use it way too much , I'm impatient...

'Can I get?' I don't know- can you?.
'My bad.' Your bad what? Bad back, bad breath, bad eyesight?

I, too, have been noticing the frequent use of "So" to start a sentence. Please, make it stop! So, what you're saying is I shouldn't use so to start every sentence? I live in a part of Ireland where a lot of people use so at the end of a sentence and I find myself always waiting for the rest of it. Like going in a shop and being told the total I owe is 12 euros so...
