Among the many things that made Buffy the Vampire Slayer stand out, it was the show's slang that helped make it a pop-culture phenomenon.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Critically acclaimed Buffy the Vampire Slayer is just as well known for its unique slang used throughout the series as it for its well-written characters and storylines. A post-modern take on the ever popular vampire mythos, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's slang resonated with its primarily teenage audience by having its characters makes reference to or say things that members of its target demographic would.
9 Overshare Despite not being coined by Buffy the Vampire Slayer, oversharing was a regularly occurring thing in the series as it relates to the idea of sharing too much information. While this might seem fairly innocuous, it actually matters a lot in that many of the phenomena experienced in Buffy the Vampire Slayer requires a bit of discretion so as not to compromise any missions or other sensitive info.
6 Slayage Always a trailblazer when creating new slang, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's characters referring to the dispatching of foes as slayage rather than killed was unique and a great way to get past censors. However, the suffix -age didn't just pertain to the slaying of demons and werewolves, it was also used when describing a kiss or even a person's personality - in this case, savage.
