Everyone knows that the internet kind of has its own language. What that means is that people online simply interact a little differently than in real life — they use various expressions, words, emojis, and jokes that you don’t often hear in day-to-day life.
This even includes such an act as complimenting — folks, especially Gen Z ones, have come up with a rather interesting way to do so online. And it’s already seeping into real life. So, let’s check out some examples of it, shall we?

I hope both sides of your pillow is coldIt’s a known fact that language is something that constantly evolves. In fact, some even say that it’s “a living, breathing entity” in the sense that it’s constantly changing and adapting to the needs of the speakers.
As proof of this, you can take a look at how the English language looked, for example, in Shakespearean times and how it looks right now – throughout hundreds of years, it has changed quite a bit. #4

Big fan of whatever this isActually, to notice the differences, you don’t have to go so far back in time; you can go back only a few decades. Granted, the contrast isn’t as grand as with hundreds of years ago, but still quite noticeable, especially when it comes to slang.
Like in the ‘80s, words like selfie weren’t really a thing. While taking pics of yourself was something people did, they didn’t have a specific word for it, as the term only took off in the 2000s. Now, it seems like an inherent part of your daily language, but not that long ago, it didn’t even exist.
