With Gen Z projected to represent nearly one-third of the workforce by 2025, according to the World Economic Forum, their preferences, vocabulary and life choices are also making an impact on companies across the globe. Gen Z has also created its own office lingo, a generational jargon that might be challenging to interpret at first, however, businesses and HR teams that can talk the talk as well as walk the walk will be able to better communicate and connect with this highly digital group.

Here are some of the terms you might hear from Gen Z colleagues:

Lit: When something is “lit,” it is cool. When it comes to today’s workforce, the word expresses enthusiasm about a project or event.
Sus: On the other hand, “sus” is short for “suspicious” and denotes lack of trust in the workplace.
Facts: Shorthand for something that is understood as true and factual.
No Cap: A way of saying “I’m telling the truth,” “no cap” is an expression of sincerity and transparency.
Slay: When you slay, you are killing it –whether on a project, in a new role or in life, in general.
Ick: Just like it sounds, “ick” describes disgust or discomfort with someone or something.
FR: Short for “for real”
Rizz: Another word for “charisma,” rizz connotes charm and cool factor.
Understood the Assignment: This Gen Z jargon recognizes those who excel at something—clearly, they “understood the assignment” in order to do so well.
L and W: Losses and/or wins, L and W are shorthand for successes or challenges in the office.
Bet: Akin to “okay,” this Gen Z word acknowledges that the speaker understands the assignment or task.
Fire: When something or someone is “fire,” they are cool and impressive.

The list goes on—and the vocab is always subject to change based on trends, world events and a generation that knows what it wants and how it wants to say it.
