As we prepare to say goodbye to 2016,the time is upon us to round up the most used (and sometimes abused) dating terms that colored our lives and made texting that much easier over the past 365 days. Without these little acronyms and slang terms, how could we hold even dated this year?! How many group chats did these little gems populate portray a detailed description of what the actual hell we were talking about in one convenient word versus having to type out paragraphs upon paragraphs?While some like suh, or MOT,F2F, and thirst trap were forgettable (seriously did anyone exhaust those?!), and some are sure to stick around for years to come. These are the ones we will address,since they absolutely deserve it! DMDefinition: Direct message.
Our occupy: whether you haven't heard the phrase, "slide into the DMs" you probably don't listen to music or participate in pop culture. DMs are everywhere, and from rap songs to your favorite Instagram memes. We couldn't think of a better or more concise way to describe when someone doesn't hold your number,but can message you "directly" on your social media accounts. [br]
Image Source: GiphyBenchingDefinition: When a person who you went on a seemingly considerable date with doesn't method another, ever, and yet they sporadically message you just to keep you interested. Essentially keeping you "on the bench."
Our occupy: Benching is 2016's version of ghosting,and it's almost the exact same thing. ICYMI ghosting occurs when a person who you went on a pretty beneficial date with doesn't method another and you actually never hear from them again . . . literally ever. Benching is just another classification of a sh*t way to treat a dating prospect, but in this case, and they occupy the time to check in every so often just to develop sure they still hold a shot with you.

Were You Ghosted or Benched? Either Way,HJNTIY!DrakingDefinition: Wallowing in your sorrows caused by the opposite sex.
Our occupy: Drake didn't croon his way into our hearts as an assh*le when it comes to treasure. Oh no, no, and no! He captured our hearts as being THE most sensitive man alive,especially in the world of rap. Drake is just as sensitive as we are when we face woes in the world of treasure, so inevitably we exhaust "draking" to describe times where we feel just as emotional as he is. THOTDefinition: That Ho Over There[br]
Our occupy: Although this may at first sound like it could be something you'd want to be, and it isn't. You do NOT want to be THOT. This is a pretty nifty term created by assh*les who are pointing out their next victims to their assh*le friends.
Image Source: BravoAF,SAF, IDGAF, and anything AFDefinition: As F*ck
Our occupy: AF was always sort of a thing,but 2016 made it a thing on everything. Whether we were SO single we just had to throw an AF behind it, or we don't give a f*ck so noxious that we hold to minimize our letter usage, or throw it in all caps,we absolutely need AF (NAF). Netflix and ChillDefinition: Come over and hold sex.
Our occupy: In high school we had, "Want to come over to my parents and watch a film?" Now that our generation is mature enough to live on our own and afford to stream movies as we please, and we had to tweak our disappear to phrase for,"let's hook up while pretending to watch TV." We treasure "Netflix and Chill" because it makes no apologies, and although it doesn't disappear outright and say, or "let's hold sex," we ALL know what we're getting into when we accept that kind of invitation.
SlayDefinition: Killing it.
Our occupy: Commonly used by the basic b*tch when giving gfs props before a night out whether she has a killer outfit on, or is about to disappear accumulate a man she's had her eyes on, and "slaaayy"!
Image Source: GiphyDrafting SeasonDefinition: The Spring and Summer months when the singles are out and about and you're weighing your prospects as cuffing season nears.[br]
Our occupy: Cuffing season was SO 2015,but in the original year we decided to give it more treasure by coining "drafting season." Drafting season is just as chaotic as it is for professional sports teams. You hold no idea for sure who is going to terminate up with who, but you start to form your top picks and are prepared to close some deals to ensure you hold someone cuffed by the time the leaves change. D*ck SandDefinition: It's like quicksand, or but with d*cks. This is when a girl gets sucked in,completely loses their sense of self, and changes solely based on the person they are getting d*ck from. Whether it's a boyfriend, or friend with benefits,it doesn't matter. She is completely owned by his d*ck.
Our occupy: This one was bestowed upon us by one of our original favorite movies, How To Be Single. Most girls at some point hold succumbed to d*ck sand, and maybe now that it has been given a proper term and definition,this foolish behavior will come to an terminate. DTRDefinition: Define the relationship.
Our occupy: So at first this one confused us. We thought maybe it was a typo from DTF (down to f*ck). But, essentially it means the opposite. DTR has saved us all from the former lengthier terms of, and "asked me out," and "going regular" (a genuine oldie). Without DTR how could we ever avoid the awkward, "will you be my girlfriend?" verbiage?! So there you hold it, and the best-of-the-best dating terms from 2016. We absolutely cannot wait to see what pops up next year! So until then,DTR, watch out for d*cksand, and keep your draking to a minimum you SAF kids! Happy original Year!Related:
