The Ro-Ro

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

Playful slang for COVID-19/coronavirus that lets you sound cooler while discussing a global pandemic. It's the verbal equivalent of giving your nemesis a nickname to make it seem less terrifying—because apparently everything is scarier when you have to say the full clinical name.

Example Usage

Lamar asked if Franklin had tested positive for the Ro-Ro, but Franklin said he was clean as a whistle.
