As a copywriter, I feel compelled to know what words mean, even if they're seemingly in a completely different language from English. When did these many words get added to the Gen Z vocabulary? I thought I was caught up when I knew what skibi, No Cap, and Rizz were, but now there's a whole glossary. Can people on the bowl help decode these? :D This is unbelievable! Also, is Ohio not just the name of a place these days?

Public speaking of any kind has always been a huge issue for me but since starting this job (which is also my first job), I've realized that even just pitching our ideas to clients in meetings is terrifying for me. Sometimes I wish copywriters could just do what they're good at - copywrite. Do other copywriters feel this way or do you actually enjoy the challenge? If yes, please share how you got yourself to embrace it! My goal for this year is to not have a panic attack before every meeting!

HAHAH but what's the problem with the word 'moist'? It's so refreshing and fun to watch Dove's marketing be funny so this was great, but to think that the whole premise of this ad is that 'moist' is not an acceptable word is quite crazy to me...
