Sunday Rest: cheugy.

 You say this word CHOO-gee (the g pronounced as in go).

Cheugy was coined in 2013 and then almost forgotten. Sadly, it's had a recent revival.

It describes someone (a cheug) who is devoted to the rather conventional but highly fashionable styles of a few years ago.

Basically, a cheug is someone who doesn't notice when a fashion becomes a cliché.

The good thing about this word is that the people who use it will soon have to stop because the word will become, well, cheugy.

And thank the Lord for that.

Sunday Rest: cheugy. This is word of TikTok, said originally to have been coined by a schoolgirl. 

But, look, just for today, why not let's stop judging people for their slightly dodgy fashion sense and try being broad-minded and kind, instead?
