Vigil Icons is a free set of 111 stroke-first icons depicting social behaviors people accuse each other of—gaslighting, ghosting, red flags—designed by Keno Vigil. Available in SVG, PNG, React, and emoji formats with no email or account required, the icons use ordinary objects that misbehave to visually convey contemporary slang and relationship dynamics.
Gen Alpha has adopted 'That's AI' as slang to describe anything inauthentic, cheap, or suspect—from knock-off merchandise to exaggerated claims. The term has broadened far beyond artificial intelligence itself, functioning as a catchall insult for dubious or unconvincing things in everyday life.
A survey by Preply found that 61 percent of Americans oppose adding internet slang like "6-7" and "skibidi" to dictionaries, with the youngest and oldest respondents most opposed. While dictionary editors argue they simply record how language is actually used rather than gatekeeping it, the author suggests people want dictionaries to serve a prescriptive function for correct usage, and much online language is too ephemeral and referential to warrant inclusion. Nonetheless, documenting contemporary slang remains valuable for future historians to understand digital culture.
