Slang nowadays is constantly evolving so it’s understandable for older adults to feel less spring chicken-like.

But we’re here to help those who want to be more in the know about the words and phrases that younger people are using — even though by the time you read this, those terms may have already changed.
The folks at Unscramblerer.com analyzed Google search data for 2026 to determine what have been the most searched slang words across Canada so far this year.
Take note of the Top 10 most searched slang words:
6 7
Said as two separate numbers — six, seven — and not sixty-seven, the top-searched phrase is simply absurd with no literal meaning (or as Dictionary.com refers to it , “brainrot slang”). Hence why it’s been searched 181,300 times.
Kids and younger teens tend to scream it, often pairing it with exaggerated hand gestures, and use it as a filler word or an inside joke to convey randomness.
Rizz
Short for charisma, it simply means style, charm or attractiveness — just cut short into one concise syllable. So for the 39,100 people who looked up its meaning, now you know.
Mogging/mogged/mog
There were 34,800 who searched for variations of the word that means outclassing someone else by appearing more attractive, skillful or successful.
Gooning
This term is used primarily in certain online communities to describe a prolonged session of self-stimulation. Also, for the 28,600 who searched for its meaning, it casually refers to becoming overly obsessed about something or losing oneself in enthusiasm for an activity or interest.
Chud
It’s in keeping with how it sounds — think “fool,” “troll” or “jerk,” and often used to describe obnoxious, unlikable, rude people, notably those who hide behind their keyboards and hurl out insults. There were 23,800 who search up its definition.
Larping/larper
Not to be mistaken for those taking part in a live-action role-playing game, this term, searched by 22,100 people, is more of a synonym to a poser, fraud or try-hard, and simply acting and faking a lifestyle for attention.
Cap/no cap
“Cap” is considered a lie or an exaggeration, while “no cap” suggests the opposite — a truth, and it’s no lie that 21,300 needed to know the meaning.
Foid
This derogatory and misogynistic slang term for women is short for “femoid,” a.k.a. a mashup word of “female” and “humanoid.” To the 20,600 who needed to look up the meaning and the rest of you, perhaps avoid using this insult.
Unc
While it’s obviously short for “uncle,” its more humorous use is to indicate old age or being past one’s prime — and likely many of whom are part of the 19,800 who looked it up.
Chopped
For some, including the 14,900 who searched it up, this is a food competition show. For younger folks, it’s a synonym for something that is ugly, unattractive or undesirable.
“Using slang is a social signal,” Randoh Sallihall, a spokesperson for Unscramblerer.com, noted.
“Slang may look like a collection of throwaway jokes from the internet, but psychology suggests it is doing something much more interesting,” he continued. “Using slang helps people navigate identity and belong to a community.”
Sallihall added: “The popularity of trending slang words can change quickly, but the psychological need behind them stays the same. People want to understand one another and belong.”
