ELI5: What is the bumping trend

The "bumping trend" means using a word or phrase you hear a lot to sound cool or fit in, even if you don't fully understand it.

Imagine everyone at school suddenly starts using the word "rizz". You hear it everywhere! "He's got so much rizz!" "She's rizzless!" It's like a new toy everyone is playing with.

• You don't know exactly what "rizz" means, but you hear it's about being charming or attractive.
• You start using it too, hoping people will think you're cool and know what's up. Maybe you say, "I have rizz," even if you're not sure you do!

• Hearing it a lot: A new word or phrase pops up in popular culture – on TV, social media, or from your friends.
• Wanting to fit in: You see everyone else using it and want to be part of the group.
• Using it yourself: You start using the word or phrase, even if you don't completely understand its meaning or proper context. You might use it in conversations, on social media posts, or even just to yourself.
