Examples:
Barbiecore (noun): “An aesthetic or style featuring playful pink outfits, accessories, decor, etc., celebrating and modeled on the wardrobe of the Barbie doll.”
Bed rotting (noun): “The practice of spending many hours in bed during the day, often with snacks or an electronic device, as a voluntary retreat from activity or stress.”
Examples:
Girl dinner (noun): “An often attractively presented collection of snacks that involve little preparation, such as small quantities of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, cherry tomatoes, etc., deemed sufficient to constitute a meal for one.”
Examples:
Slow fashion (noun): “A movement among clothing producers and consumers that emphasizes eco-friendly, well-made clothing, maintenance and repair of garments to extend their lifespan, and a general reduction of one’s consumption of new clothing items.”
Examples:
“I think new language is about crucial changes — social and cultural changes,” “Even if we’re baby boomers, we should try to keep up, keep abreast of what’s happening.”
