snøfnugg


Definition from estudie.no:
SNØFNUGG: Fnugg av snø. Myke, lette flak sammensatt av grupper av krystaller.
GENERASJON SNØFNUGG: nedsettende uttrykk om milllenniumsgenerasjonen og generasjon Z (2010-generasjonen). Uttrykket antyder at en person har en oppblåst følelse av å være unik.

Example sentence(s):
  • «Snøfnugg» (fra engelsk: snowflake) er et nedsettende begrep fra 2010-årene som antyder at en person har en oppblåst følelse av unikhet eller er altfor følelsesladet, lett fornærmet, og ute av stand til å håndtere motsatte meninger. Et eldre norsk begrep med omtrent samme innhold er «persilleblad».[1] - Wikipedia
