- Abstract
Language is a medium of communication for expressing feelings, emotions, and information to be shared. It is possible that the meaning of the language used may change depending on the context, including the generation after years. Millennials, for example, invented the terms spill the tea with the emergence of the use of social media. This article studies the meaning behind the language manipulation of spill the tea used among millennials on Twitter. In order to reveal the language manipulation, this article used a qualitative method by distributing questionnaires and documentation to collect the data from several millennial accounts on Twitter. Thirty-seven respondents who have filled out the survey know all the language manipulation that has been presented. However, not all of them are comfortable using manipulation words in their daily conversations with their friends. It proves that the use of language manipulation, especially among millennials, does not only give a good impact on how netizens respond but also gives a negative tone to those who are uncomfortable seeing the words around them.
