Tall Tales: Slangs: Divyanka

Pow: This isn’t even a real word; it’s a sound effect that somehow became a massive slang term. If someone takes a fire selfie and looks unbelievably good, instead of commenting “fire” or “slay,” people will just comment “Pow!” It simulates the sound of a gunshot or an explosion, meaning the picture is so good it blew your mind. It’s highly dramatic, which is exactly why 18-year-olds love using it on social media. It’s the ultimate way to react to someone looking drop-dead gorgeous or doing something incredibly impressive.
