Aggie slang for 2025: Great responses; send us more!

Current Aggie students, thank you! We are getting some terrific Aggie slang terms for 2025 from you. Below are just a few of the ones you've already sent in!

Please send us more, and share the link with other students — plus, we've added a couple new questions to the survey form (you can retake it if you want):

Submit 2025 suggestions here!

Here's the project: The Association of Former Students is asking current students to help create an Aggie Slang glossary for 2025.

For inspiration, see tx.ag/AggieSlang42and83 — these Aggie slang terms and definitions were compiled by Texas A&M students in 1942 and 1983. We figure every 40 years or so, we should update our vocabulary, right? Thanks and gig 'em! (Wait, do people still say "Ts and Gs"?)
