Massachusetts’ Most Searched Slang Words In 2024
Massachusetts, we need to talk. Your Google searches have spoken, and they reveal a treasure trove of quirky, hilarious, and downright bizarre slang obsessions for 2024. From TikTok trends to viral catchphrases, let’s dive into the wild world of the Bay State’s favorite slang—and how America stacks up.
1. Demure (260,000 searches nationwide!)
“Reserved, modest, or shy” takes on new life thanks to TikTok star Jools Lebron. Her viral videos labeling everything from makeup to outfits as “very demure” made this word THE playful slang of the year. Forget shy—this word is loud and proud on everyone’s search bar.
2. Based
Popularized by rapper Lil B, “based” is all about confidence. It’s giving, “I don’t care what you think,” and Massachusetts is here for it. Someone unapologetically themselves? They’re based, and we agree.
3. Hawk Tuah
A viral June 2024 street interview brought us “hawk tuah”—an imitation of a spitting sound. It’s chaotic, it’s weird, and it’s… apparently a relationship pro tip? We’re not asking questions, but we’re side-eyeing the search data.
4. Skibidi
If you haven’t seen the surreal dancing toilets and animated heads on TikTok, where have you been? “Skibidi” is all about that bizarre humor that makes no sense—and we love it for that.
5. Sobriquet
Borrowed from the French, “sobriquet” is a fancy way to say nickname. But don’t be fooled by its sophistication—this word is trending because people just want to sound cooler.
Bonus: Preen, Schmaltz, and Skrrt
Massachusetts didn’t forget the little guys! From “preen” (kids trying to act grown) to “schmaltz” (too much sentimentality) and “skrrt” (screeching excitement), the slang game is strong.
America’s Top Picks
The U.S. joined in with words like “sigma” (lone wolves), “sen” (slang for self), and “katz” (fun times). But nothing tops “demure” for sheer viral energy.
As Unscramblerer.com says: Slang is fun, evolving, and here to stay. Go ahead, learn these terms—and maybe freak out your kids by dropping “hawk tuah” into conversation.
