(WHNT) – To help older singles, Tinder has released a “dating dictionary” of Gen Z terms and what they really mean.
This post comes after research found that 62% of singles between the ages of 18 and 25 speak a completely different language than millennials and others when dating.
Among many other words that may be somewhat recognisable, the dictionary includes words such as “picking”, “breadcrumbing”, “dumping”, “kitten fishing”, “ick” and “ecodumping”.
Opportunity is a meeting, which may be a little obvious, is short for available date. A coffee date, a walk, and more. think about
Bread crumbs (not related to Hansel and Gretel) is a reference to light flirting with some interest. The goal is to interest the other person without any real commitment.
Amortization This means that one keeps a few “backup” relationships in one’s pocket in case the main one doesn’t work.
Environmental dumping it sounds like: throwing someone out for not being honest about environmental issues.
Fishing for a kitten is basically a lesser form of fishing, but still changing some aspect of yourself to be more attractive, but not your entire appearance.
Crow is a traitor garbage or things that someone dislikes or hates.
Most of the words were used in Tinder’s Year In Swipe 2022, a report published in December, which found that the new phrases were mostly used by young adults.
