What's the Deal with 'Landed' and 'Dropped'? Gen Z Trend or Something Else?

Ask a Question

Where have the terms 'Landed' and 'Dropped' come from all of a sudden? They are doing my head in.

Is it a Gen Z thing?

Please enlighten me.

TheChimp Oh! I’ve heard it a little but not that much. I think probably on advertisements. Makes it sound more dramatic I suppose.
