  1. My 11 year old has been heard calling his friends ‘sussy baka’ – slang from sus from among us and 馬鹿.

    Edit: I suppose I maybe mis read the OP – this is in the US and my comment reflects the use of Japanese origin slang here.

  2. According to the gyaru fashion magazine egg, one of the top JK words of 2021 is きゃぱい (kyapai) which is short for キャパシティーオーバー (over capacity). It’s sort of a Japanese “I can’t even.” You’re “over capacity” in the sense that it’s too much and you just can’t handle any more.

    Another one I’ve seen online is はにゃ? which is apparently just a “huh” kind of interjection, means the same thing as saying あれ?but it’s considered more “kawaii” lol.

  3. Proof that new slang is cringe in EVERY language, lmao

    (Although I use it them too)
