‘Vasteguna Huiya, Kuchu-Puchu, FOMO’: Viral Gen Z Vocabulary Echoes In Parliament

Parliament witnessed an unusual blend of politics and internet culture during the Monsoon Session, with MPs using Gen Z slang to sharpen their attacks and connect with younger audiences. BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj used the phrase “clock it,” while Tejasvi Surya described the Opposition as “delulu.” Congress MP Deepender Hooda responded with viral expressions like “kuchu-puchu” and “vasteguna huiya” during the anti-paper leak debate. Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde called the Opposition “MIA” and suffering from “FOMO,” while Union Minister Jitendra Singh also used the terms in the Lok Sabha, making Gen Z vocabulary a surprising feature of parliamentary debate.
