When Heartland Boy first heard about Adulting last year, he immediately associated it with adultery or promiscuity. Apparently, Adulting is a verb derived from the noun “Adult”. Pretty much like how google was a noun before it became more commonly used as a verb. It first gained traction amongst millennials in the States before it started spreading globally. Since Heartland Boy was clueless about Adulting, he did what millennials would do- googled it! Much to his amusement, he realised that he could not be further away from the truth! So what exactly is the meaning of Adulting? According to American Speech, a linguistics journal, Adulting is defined as “to make someone behave like an adult or to engage in activities associated with adulthood”.
