Perusing the average men's style blog can turn up some perplexing words to the uninformed. Informed by everything from forum culture to hip-hop, much of the slang dropped by the average author or commenter can be hard for neophytes to understand. That's why we've compiled some of the more popular terms you run into on the Internet and broke them down for you.

If you have no idea what "trill" or "wavy" mean, and can't tell the difference between a "fit pic" and proper "selfie," consider this your brand new style bible. Study it carefully, and perhaps, you too will earn "blogger bucks" and get a "v.v.v. skrong" vocabulary. Here's The Unofficial Style Nerd Dictionary.
