Looking for a cool way to insult your friends? You might want to call them “cheugy.” This new term has been all over the internet, and it seems to be a popular way for Gen Z to mock other generations.

If you’ve heard the word, you likely know it rose in popularity thank to TikTok. This slang word has been used to describe an out-of-date trend or the person who follows them. By this point in time, something that was cool in 2015 is now considered cheugy. So if you’re passing your time with a fidget spinner, you’re probably cheugy.
