Everything on FLEEK

-->
 
Honestly I have no idea where this word came from but people just started using it. You know when you hear something for the first time and you “act” like you know what it means until you figure it out. For a good month people would use this word and I am like “wtf, does this mean it’s dope, disgusting or something?” When I finally learned what it meant, I told myself I couldn’t use this word. I honestly think it is worse then using thot, only because thot has been used so much its stuck in my head. “On Fleek” means on point from my understanding. Like, “ Your shirt is on fleek” or “Eyebrows on fleek”. Lets give a moment of silence to the English language because we seem to create new words everyday.

Supposedly the word fleek started with some girl on vine talking about her eyebrows on fleek. Now people use this to describe every dam thing. At first it was okay but people use it on a daily basis. It has become extremely annoying, every picture is on fleek, and every meal is on fleek. Literally everything is on fleek. I believe in 5-10 years they might consider it a synonym to the word point “point, on point, fleek, on fleek.” At this rate they might as well because once celebrities start using certain words then it will blow up and everyone will use it. Then people will petition for it to be part of the dictionary. Then our kids will be asked to use the word in a sentence.

“I told the thot that my outfit was on fleek”
“The lunch lady made some taco’s that was on fleek”
“My eyebrows on fleek, just like my sister’s.”

I really think “eyebrows on fleek” is funny as shit though, I laugh everytime a someone says it. We sometimes forget that WE have the power to make something commercial or completely kill it. We are bigger then media and what ever we say they will fight so hard to be against it but will have to fold.  Our biggest weapon is social media and it allows us to express new things and share it with everybody. Rewind to 1990’s when social media was barely existent and the words that where popular during that time.

All that
All That and a bag of chips
Da Bomb
As if
Duh
Homeslice

Just to name a few, they don’t have the power of social media to keep them relevant and in use today. Be aware that the power we have as a collective is bigger then you think, and any word that is created will most likely carry on to future generations.
