In this article of “The slang of SHS,” I am introducing a slang phrase that is currently thriving. At Sartell High School, getting your point across often needs a little bit of emphasis. Just telling people to do something alone doesn’t work. The phrase, major key, has come along to help emphasize all your advice.

The phrase major key came from rapper, DJ Khaled, on his beloved and infamous snapchat account. He uses major key in many of his videos promoting life advice and keys to success.

At Sartell High School, major key has become a phrase that indicates you should probably listen to what’s coming next because it’s very important. DJ Khaled has taken our life advice game to a new level.
