It seems as though the development of new slang words is accelerating more rapidly than ever before. I don’t want to be a buzzkill — I will fully admit that I often participate in using a trending slang word in my own speech. However, there are some slang words that have real implications for the way we talk about and treat our peers. And although the term “huzz” is typically supposed to be a “positive” way to describe women, its objectifying undertones still rub me the wrong way. Another problem I’ve observed with slang usage is more campus-specific.
