Story summary
Gen Z podcasters recently suggested swapping the term "tramp stamp", a derogatory name for a tattoo on a woman's lower back, with "cake topper." During an episode of their show, host Alisha Marie posed the question and her panel offered various alternatives like "booty mark," "sluts arch," and "gyatt-too." The correct term, as revealed by another panelist Remi Cruz, is "cake topper." Online reactions were mixed, with some people finding it unnecessary while others, including a commenter named Amanda who identified herself as a Millennial, saw the new term as generational failure or an unwelcome change.
