Gen Z slang evolves fast, but some terms fly under the radar—even for the generation using them. This post reveals three deep-cut slang words that many Gen Zers haven’t caught onto yet.
These hidden gems show how language keeps shifting beyond the popular words everyone knows. They can catch people off guard in conversations and online chats.
By learning these, readers get a sneak peek into slang that might soon pop up everywhere.
Naurrr
Naurrr is a playful way of saying “no” with added flair. It often shows mild disbelief, sass, or exaggerated denial in a fun tone.
The term appears mostly in texts, memes, and online chats. It adds personality to reactions, especially when someone wants to be dramatic or funny.
Its origins are unclear, but it’s gained traction in internet culture. You might see it in posts or comments like, “Naurrr, you didn’t,” meaning, “I can’t believe you did that.”

Rizzler
A Rizzler is someone who’s smooth, confident, and great at flirting. Check out some samples from the post below:
The term comes from “rizz,” short for charisma or the ability to charm.
Friends might jokingly call someone a Rizzler when they pull off a clever pickup line or make a strong impression. It’s often used in a fun, casual way.
To “rizz someone up” means to win them over with words or style. A Rizzler does this naturally, often without even trying too hard.
Menty B
Menty B is Gen Z shorthand for a “mental breakdown,” but with a dose of humor and self-awareness. It’s how you admit you’re spiraling—without sounding dramatic.
You’ll hear it in sentences like, “I had a menty b after losing my AirPods again.” It’s relatable, funny, and often posted alongside memes or meltdown TikToks.
While it sounds light, it reflects how Gen Z uses humor to cope with stress and anxiety—owning the chaos instead of hiding it.

Alan Reiner
Hi, my name is Alan Reiner and I have been in the writing industry for almost seven years. I write articles that can span from 200 words all the way to 20,000 words every single day. How do I do it? With a lot of determination. All my way through school and college, I hated long-form assignments. I could never get into the groove of working on one piece for an extended period of time. My pieces were always late because I didn’t have the motivation to type them, let alone edit them.
