Kinda Cheugy, Kinda Chic

Cheugy is a recent internet slang term that basically just means cringey or uncool, like when someone tries too hard or when a trend has been beaten like a dead horse. We talked to trend and lifestyle experts to explain more and tell us how to be less cheugy:

  • Trend and TikTok expert Shayan Faraz tells us that cringey behavior, or cheuginess, is "used to criticize behavior and people who come across as cringey or self-absorbed."[1]
  • Meme, brainrot, and slang expert Tobi Nwodo says, "For someone to be considered cringey, they must do things that are deemed cringey online. For example, they use overused or outdated terms and participate in outdated trends."[2]
  • Dating coach Kezia Noble says to ditch the cringe label, saying, "I'm very much a believer of owning it, and being unapologetic, totally unapologetic. Like, this is my reality, this is what I like. I feel there's no shame attached to it."[3]
  • Licensed professional counselor (LPC) Casey Lee agrees, saying, "If you can feel secure about yourself, you will be free to be authentic, vulnerable, assertive, interested, and accepting of others. These are qualities that most people like."[4]
  • Life coach Mark Fennell says, "It's not about being loud and it's not about being the most confident in the room. It's about being comfortable in whoever you feel."[5]
