Readers’ Corner: Two Slang Words

I happened to learn two new slang words while watching American TV dramas. The first one was HALT. It stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired. The line in the story said you should not make decisions when you feel HALT. I slapped my thigh, remembering my quarrels with my husband. I always felt HALT then. The next slang word was FOMO. It means Fear of Missing Out. I was completely FOMO when I was young. I was scared of missing any opportunities to meet new friends and hang out at drinking parties. I am not FOMO anymore in my sixties. I’d rather stay home and watch my favorite American dramas and learn new slang. Now I am HSHC, Happy to Stay Home and Chill, which I just thought of. Will this be the next new slang? (137 words)
