Zoom Town

Definition

A Zoom town is a small community that is growing quickly due to the rise of remote work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, journalists noticed that many newly-remote workers were moving out of cities and into less-urban areas. Combining the name of the Zoom video conferencing app with the term "boom town," journalists dubbed these quickly-growing rural communities "Zoom towns."

Jerk off

A dismissive term for someone who consistently makes mistakes, messes things up, or generally proves themselves incompetent. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, and probably the reason why you can't have nice things. It's a slightly softer insult than calling someone a complete moron, but not by much.

Addy

In text and chat slang, addy is typically short for "address." If someone asks you to send them your addy, they want you to tell them your address, most likely so they can plug it into Google or Apple Maps and find their way to you.
