Fashionable words appear in every linguistic period. They are used much more often than necessary. This frequency cannot be rationally explained, it blurs meaning of the lexeme and makes the speakers unaware of others synonymic words. The author presents a set of today fashionable Polish words and analyses reasons of the phenomenon from the point of view of the culture of language.

The present paper focuses on assessment of linguistic means used to express evaluation by the youth generation. We were interested in the children’s choice of expressions; whether there are any new or fashionable expressions in their speech and what expressions are used as intensifiers. Fifteen 3–10-minuts records of students’ spoken language were used as material for the research. The analysis drew us to a conclusion that expressive vocabulary is very frequent in the students’ speech. Among those, vast majority are words originating in a semantic shift (hustý, drsný, libový, vymletý). Everyday words (trapný, hustý, super, v pohodě), but also updated expressions (libový, suprový, vymletý, na pohodu), which are not used so frequently though, are very popular. The most common means of intensifying is adding an adverbial in front of the adjective (hrozně v pohodě, úplně bezvadný). However, by far the most common intensifier is the particle fakt (fakt uvolněný).
