The Best words,
Okay, I stole some of Those words from the Donald...
Anyway, I recently saw
On fleek
And hadda go look it up. Today I found this article, a study of words that are just sprouting up and there are maps showing the origin, and rate of use and where the word is being used.
On Fleek origin, and the girl who first used it.
I didn't want the whole article. IDK how it copied and pasted the whole thing,, sorry.

You can see, for example, how on fleek exploded almost simultaneously across the country last year. The phrase, which roughly translates to perfect or on point, was a linguistic surprise hit. It didn’t start with a celebrity or brand trying to coin a new phrase. What set it off was Kayla Newman, a not-yet-famous Vine user, saying, “Finna get crunk. Eyebrows on fleek.”
From there it took off, fast. On fleek got picked up by IHOP, Taco Bell, and Kim Kardashian. Now it is fully in the lexicon, used regularly on Twitter as though it existed for many years, not just one. It is fundamentally a borderless word, native to the internet.
When I saw how huge it was I modified it..I was intrigued by the words and origins. I hope others will be.
