digiteen 

A term for people who were born between 1999-present.

Digital + teen.

We use computers as tools, not just productivity devices. We see our computers as art, not just a window to do one thing.

We see the world in general as art. We slow down, observe and just have fun. In other words we're just vibin'.
Don't even bother to use it in every day language. It's a made up word because Gen Z could go without a name forever. The teen comes from the fact that everybody is either a young adult or an adolescent. 22...21...20...19...18...etc. Honestly YZK made things break. But it was so long ago, most young adults forget about it, weren't there, or were too young to remember anything. Now we have phones in our pockets that are a window to everything in a box. Portability brought us back into the world, but if you've got the right balance, you take in the whole world around you and stay in decent shape. We're only young once. Let's enjoy it while we can. Oh well. Enjoy the new word. Digiteen. Better than Gen Z, right?

Digiteen 

Young people born between 1999 and the present day.

A name for Gen Z.

The informed but observant.

The young and confident and free.
Digiteen 1: Why are we called Gen Z again?

Digiteen 2: Because old heads forgot to name stuff anymore after Y2K. They're so stuck in their ways they scared themselves out of computers just cause some computers did weird stuff. That's what computers do. Lol

We should make up our own name. How about Digiteen. DigitalTeen? You know just take ownership of our word so we can take ownership of our own shit.

Digiteen 1: Sounds good to me.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
