"坑爹"、"傷不起"、"吐槽"均是時下年輕人經常掛在嘴邊的新鮮詞。這些詞無論生命力多強，都給我們的語匯帶來一絲喜感，給我們的生活帶來一份輕松。此外，這些流行語(如"富二代"、"剩女")往往反應了許多現實的社會問題，是對這些問題凝練的調侃。

高中生可以通過熟悉這些新鮮詞來讓自己想起一些社會現象、社會事件，并將它們作為事例佐證自己的作文。哲學家維特根斯坦(Ludwig Wittgenstein)曾說："我語言的極限就是我世界的極限。我所知道的東西僅是我可以用語言表述的。 "(The limits of my language are the limits of my world. All I know is what I have words for.)因此，當學生們常常抱怨舉例困難時，不妨用這其中部分現成而短小精悍的詞來提示自己，那么作文舉例會變得左右逢源。
