Among the most popular words of 2024, we find “banger”, “PNJ” and even “tanaland”. A “banger” is basically a particularly high-quality electro track, as SoSoir explains. But over time, the term has become one that describes any work, object or idea of a genius nature. So your book, that new movie, and that pasta dish can all be real bangers! As for “tanaland”, it is an imaginary country in which women live alone and where men are simply banned. Born on TikTok, it is a reaction to an insult that has become common to denigrate women, “tana”. Finally, an “NPC” is a “non-playable character”, understand a person of no interest like the secondary characters of video games.
