"VSCO Girl" Lingo Explained

TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc

What are some words or phrases that someone speaking with a VSCO girl accent would use?The term "VSCO girl" originated from the VSCO photo editing app, which became associated with a certain style and lingo around 2019. The "VSCO girl" lingo is not exactly an accent; rather, it consists of specific words, phrases, and speech patterns associated with this subculture.

Some commonly used words and phrases associated with VSCO girls include:

1. "Sksksk": This is an expression of laughter, surprise, or excitement. It comes from the sound that is made when you type random letters on the keyboard out of amusement or shock.

2. "And I oop-": This phrase is used to express surprise, shock, or embarrassment. It was popularized by a video of Jasmine Masters, a drag queen from RuPaul's Drag Race.

3. "Save the turtles": VSCO girls are often associated with environmental consciousness, especially related to reducing plastic usage to protect marine life. "Save the turtles" is a phrase you might hear in that context.

4. "Hydro Flask": This is a brand of reusable water bottle that's popular within the VSCO girl community.

5. "Scrunchies": A type of hair accessory that's seen as a hallmark of the VSCO girl aesthetic.

6. "No plastic straws, please": As part of their environmentally-friendly ethos, VSCO girls advocate for the use of reusable straws instead of disposable plastic ones.

7. "Insta baddie": This term refers to a person who is considered attractive or fashionable on Instagram, but VSCO girls might use it in a somewhat ironic or self-deprecating way.

8. "Puka shell necklace": This is a type of jewelry commonly associated with the VSCO girl style.

9. "I spilled my tea": "Spilling tea" or "tea" is slang for gossip or interesting news.

10. "Birks": This is short for Birkenstocks, a brand of sandals popular among VSCO girls.

Please remember that these are stereotypical phrases and items associated with the VSCO girl trend, and individuals within this group (like any other) will have their own unique ways of speaking and expressing themselves. I need to re-write certain dialog from a play's script, so that the accents of each character are exaggerated.

Below I will list a type of accent, some tips on that accent, and lastly lines of dialog. Please re-write the dialog but keep the spirit of each line and try to "punch up" the accent.

This sed script will replace the lines in a text file with the matched lines. To run it, save it as accents.sed (or any name you prefer), and then run sed -f accents.sed input.txt > output.txt.

Please note that it may require adjustments depending on the actual input file and the specific sed version you are using. The given script is a simple demonstration and is not intended to cover all possible edge cases.
