Gen Z Words Series (17/30)

One Work Study Taught me 30 words GenZ uses. I am here to share them with you.

The 17th word is “Shook (Shooking)” I have been told that it means “Shocked or surprised”

So, the 17th word is “Shook (Shooking)” I was told it meant “Shocked or surprised”. I find these new words to be interesting. It is also pretty crazy how the definitions given by my work studies and the internet definition are a little different. Each word can mean different things to different people. This is why words are so amazing!

I also found out this word is meant “fear, rage, and shaken up”. Didn’t know this and found out about this from dictionary.com

I also did some personal research and found a whole section on dictionary.com on some history and origin of the phrase, Shook (Shooking). If you have time why don’t you check it out? Direct link below:

Final Test: Attempt to Use the Word!

I am going to do this on all episodes. I will try to attempt to use these words. I am going to write three sentences. Make sure all Gen Z that I am using this term correctly and comment me that I am correctly using it or I am not using it correctly.

1. I am Shook that I am almost done with my VR Design Degree.
2. I am Shook that I am so close to 1K Followers.
3. It’s Shooking that I have almost no social media presence.

Thanks for reading this friends. I hope you can do way better than me in using the word “Shook (Shooking)”.
