What Do うざい, キモい, ウケる, ダサい and ハズい Mean?

What do うざい, キモい, ウケる, ダサい and ハズい mean?

I’d say there is a lot of slang which is not only Japanese but all of the languages have that. This time, let me introduce how younger generations use slang which you could often hear from many situations today!

うざい (うざっ！,うっざー！or うぜぇ！)

Annoying / Irritating

“うざい” can use used as the meaning of “annoying and irritating”. When you feel annoyed or irritated to someone or something, you would be able to use “うざい”. “うざい” stands for “うざったい”.

Example

うざい！ (Annoying!) (囉唆！) (짜증나!) (Phiền phức thế)

あのー、さっきから、うざいんですけど！！ (Hey, you’ve been annoying for a quite long time.) (我说啊，你从刚才起就很吵欸！) ( 아, 아까부터 짜증나게 구네!!) (Xin lỗi nhưng từ nãy giờ tôi làm phiền anh quá nhưng..)

キモい(キモっ！or キッモー！キメェ！)

Gross / Ewww / Yuck

“きもい” could be used when you feel gross to someone or something. “きもい” stands for “気持きもち悪わるい”.

Example

ねぇ、キモいおっさんがマキのことちらちら見みてるよ！ (You know what? I think that gross fart is looking at you, Maki!) (欸，有个很噁心的大叔一直在偷看Maki耶！) ( 있잖아, 기분 나쁘게 생긴 아저씨가 마키를 흘끗흘끗 보고 있어!) (Này, lão già biến thái cứ nhìn Maki lấm lét đấy)

キモっ！ (Gross!) (好噁！) (기분 나빠!) (Tởm thế!)

ウケる

Hilarious / That’s epic

“ウケる” could use used as the meaning of “hilarious or something/someone cracks you up or That’s epic”. “ウケる” doesn’t have any abbreviations. Only ウケる won’t be able to change “ウケっ” like other slang.
