She captioned the clip: 'Ins & outs sayings with my 8th graders.'
First, she began by asking her students if the words 'lowkey' and 'highkey' were still a part of their vocabulary. The eighth graders revealed that they did indeed still use those words.
Next, she asked about the word 'sus,' shorthand for suspicious.
The phrase was met with a roar of boos as the students said that they had replaced the word 'sus' with the phrase 'that's weird.' In addition to 'sus,' the students said they no longer used 'cap.'
Then, Trina brought up the word 'yolo,' which is short for you only live once.
'This is like back in my time,' she said. After being met with boos, the students told Trina that 'do it for the plot' had replaced 'yolo.'
And they explained that they no longer used the word 'lit' to describe their excitement or something cool and instead use, 'that's fire.'
People of all ages flooded the comments section and expressed their shock as they couldn't hide their laughter
Meanwhile, the students were left confused when Trina asked if they used the word 'dime' to describe someone's looks.
'You say "she's a 10," they said in unison.
The eighth graders also noted that they still said the words 'beef,' which described tension between two people; 'ick,' which is a turn-off; and 'no shade,' meaning you didn't have a problem with someone.
They also mentioned 'period,' a term of agreement.
Lastly, Trina's students explained that the word 'cringe', which was used as another term for 'weird' had been replaced with 'odd,' and the word 'slay,' which was used as a compliment, had been phased out by 'you ate that.'
People of all ages flooded the comments section and expressed their shock as they couldn't hide their laughter.
One person said: 'I'm so old that corny has come BACK around. I've used that forever lol.'
Someone else wrote: 'The "huh" after saying "dime" was hilarious.'
Another user added: 'Going back to the original versions of things are hilarious.'
A fourth commented: 'I love this so much.'
