Would you still say this today?

Frequently asked

How does the game work?

You get ten slang words. For each one you say whether it is still used or finished. After each answer you see our read, taken from the Ask page, and a link to the full explanation with sources.

Who decides if a word is extinct?

We do, by hand, and we label it as an opinion. It is our editorial read, updated as things change, not a measurement.
