When we jokingly referred to our group as the jumbo, we meant it as a lighthearted way to describe our crew of friends who love food a bit too much!

catfishing
That kind of Batman's trap that lead you to something unexpectedly different from your initial expectation, e.g. ending up watching age-inappropriate animated movie titled "Sausage Party" (2016) when you akcually expect to watch kid-friendly animated movies
I thought I was in for a fun family movie night, but catfishing hit hard when I ended up watching the wildly inappropriate 'Sausage Party' instead of a kid-friendly flick!

1990's
An era starting from January 1st 1990 that didn't akcually end until the 9/11 event in 2001. That being said, the gaming console PS2 (PlayStation 2) was technically first released in the 1990's as PS2 was first announced on March 4th 2000 and was eventually released on October 26th 2000.
The 1990's were a magical time, kicking off the decade with unforgettable music and culture, and it didn't really feel over until 9/11 changed everything in 2001—oh, and let's not forget the PS2 dropping in 2000!

platform
A gaming term that also merges two meanings: it refers to a synonym for the "side scroller" genre, where the gameplay involves moving sideways through levels, and the console or operating system on which a video game is played.
Whether you're playing on a console or PC, the platform can greatly affect your gaming experience, especially in side scrollers!

species

He's definitely part of a rare species; not many people can stand still having screen time limits imposed by parents past the age of 20.

Internet
The invention that makes time feel faster but also flat for those born from the Millennial generation (born 1982~1997). Routinely scrolling through social media, working from laptops, and minimal physical changes make many Millennials feel like their days are running in circles. They also don't see many signs that time has passed.
For Millennials, the Internet feels like a double-edged sword—it speeds up time but also makes every day feel the same as the last while scrolling endlessly through social media.
