ERA

What Does Era Mean?

Era means "A Phase of Life."

The word era actually means "a long and distinct period of history with a particular feature or characteristic." However, era is now widely used in chat and on social media to refer to a phase in the life of a person that they personally feel is significant.

Era is often used ironically or lightheartedly and implies that a phase in life is either over or has been accepted as the way things are at the moment.

Here are some examples:

• I was a real geek in my high school era, but now I'm in my party era and the fun is just beginning!
• When I was in my single and avaialble era, I couldn't get a date. Now I'm married I've suddenly entered my hot and desirable era, apparently.
• I was always first into the office during my ambitious era. Now I'm in my "I don't give a damn" flop era.
