Yesterday I heard a kid use "trending" to mean popular. This was at a carnival, referring to a ride "trending" in the sense of having a long line. Feel like this is the modern version of LOL and OMG escaping into conversation.

I hate it when the hip kids these days use the word "popular." They're not even referring to populare politicians! They're not referring to populares; they're not even referring to the optimates! Kids these days with their new fangled slang.
