In our age of information, any fickle entity changes very quickly, and the Russian language is no exception. Jargon and neologisms appear almost every day. In order to remain a modern person and speak the same language with young people, it is necessary to constantly update your vocabulary. One of the newfangled words that can often be heard in youth slang is the word "bench". In this article we will try to answer the question, what is a bench?
Meaning
To understand what a bench is in youth slang, you need to remember the words "super", "cool", "cool". For children from the 90s, such words were quite understandable at one time and were widely used by them, perplexing parents, especially grandparents. So, the bench is about the same, only a more fashionable version, gradually replacing all the previous ones from the language. In familiar Russian terms,"bench" can be understood as "remarkable", "very good", "superlative". The word is appropriate to use when something is very pleasant, causes only positive emotions and, undoubtedly, deserves the highest rating.
