Gen Z, characterized by its tech-savvy nature, is infamous for introducing the world to some hilarious and weird slangs and expressions to communicate. Even though these slangs have become quite popular, they sometimes get annoying and overusing these slangs can be perceived as disrespectful, especially in a professional environment.
