Yesterday I heard a kid use “trending” to mean popular. This was at a carnival, referring to a ride “trending” in the sense of having a long line. Feel like this is the modern version of LOL and OMG escaping into conversation.

i don’t mind this one, because it at least makes some degree of sense. The etymology is understandable without needing to reference urban dictionary, and it doesn’t utterly contradict the previous definition.
Yeah like “dank” or “sick” or “ill” did.
You’re ill but I’m iller
