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 teach at a middle school. I occasionally refer to my class as “chat” to make my students cringe. They hate it and tell me I’m too old.
Please keep doing it
Oh man, that is so pwned!
