English Slang Words Terms

🔘 Band How much is a band? ◻️One thousand dollars A band is one thousand dollars, also known as a grand, stack, or G. The term comes from the band placed around a stack of cash to hold it together. Band is often used in contexts where money is being bragged about, such as a club or rap song. The term is typically seen as "bands", which refers to multiple thousands of dollars. If the band contains more than 1G, say 10Gs, then it may be called a "10G band" or "10K band." ❓Example He be flauntin' those bands filling his hands ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 WOAT What does WOAT stand for? ◻️Worst of all time WOAT is an acronym that stands for "Worst of all time," which is the opposite of the more common GOAT acronym that stands for "Greatest of all time." The acronym may be used to describe anything that is terrible, whether it be an athlete, food, or piece of technology. You will often see the acronym in sports discussions in a joking manner to contrast the GOAT acronym, which is used so often to argue about who's the best athlete. The acronym may also commonly appear in forums or on social media to discuss the worst people or things they have experienced. ❓Example Wow, he is the WOAT. I can't believe he's still in the league ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Chungus What does chungus mean? ◻️A cute, chunky creature Chungus means a cute, chunky creature. While the term was originally popularized by video game journalist Jim Sterling and online gamers, its use has increased and morphed such that you might hear someone at your local park shout "Look at that chungus!" while pointing at an adorably fat squirrel. When Sterling began using the term chungus, it had no actual meaning. A Redditor named GaryTheTaco, however, paired the term with an image of an overweight Bugs Bunny, creating a mock-up for a fake PS4 game called Big Chungus. This image eventually went viral, leading to chungus's association with cartooinshly overweight creatures. ❓Example Aw, look at that squirrel. It's a chungus among us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 FOMO What is FOMO? ◻️Fear of missing out FOMO is the fear of missing out on something exciting, memorable, or just plain better than what you are currently experiencing. For example, if your friends are going to a concert together but you are stuck at a work meeting, you might experience FOMO. ❓Example I decided to go to the game, even though it's likely going to be a blowout. My FOMO is too high I hear ya. I would go too if I had the money ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 IYKYK What does IYKYK mean online and in messages? ◻️If you know you know IYKYK stands for "If you know you know," which people may use on social media or in messages. It refers to some sort of shared experience or inside joke, that if you know, then you know. Teenagers and young adults typically use IYKYK on social sites like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. It became popular in 2019 and may be preceded by a hashtag and accompanying an image or video. Most people use IYKYK as a nod to those who will get an inside joke or reference that others would not pick up on reading at the surface level. For example, your friend may tweet that she'll never listen to Bruno Mars again and include "iykyk," which is a nod to those that know that was her ex's and her favorite singer. Some people may also use IYKYK to exclude people and/or make them feel bad about not understanding or knowing something. An example of this is when a person missed out on an epic party or wasn't present when a bunch of girlfriends were sharing gossip. ❓Example Wait, did Monica and Chase break up? Yep, last nite. #IYKYK ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Stoked What does stoked mean? ◻️Excited Stoked is a term people use when they are excited about something, whether it be a fun gathering, the premiere of a TV show, or the perfect set of surfing waves. While extreme athletes, such as skateboarders, snowboarders, and surfers, most often use "stoked," anybody may use it. For example, if you are excited about a get-together with your crush, your friend may say, "Wow, you are really juiced for this date!" Or, you may be excited about your Super Bowl party and post a picture of your food with the caption, "So juiced for the big game today. It's gonna be great!" ❓Example I'm totally stoked for the movie this weekend! Me, too! Can't wait! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Turn Up What does turn up mean? ◻️To get crazy A term used to describe how things are about to get wild, crazy, and possibly out of control; can refer to something bad that's about to happen, such as a fight, or something good that's about to happen, such as a party starting to get awesome. ❓Example Someone needs to turn up this joint or I'm outta here! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 LL&P What does LL&P stand for? ◻️Live long and prosper Trekkies may end a conversation by telling you to LL&P, which stands for "live long and prosper." This acronym is a condensed version of Star Trek character Spock's famous salute. In real life, Trekkies often pair "live long and prosper" with a hand gesture known as the Vulcan salute (shown below). In text, you may see LL&P accompanied by a hand emoji that replicates the Vulcan salute. If so, you can be certain that LL&P stands for "live long and prosper." ❓Example Catch you at the next movie night. LL&P u2! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Clapped What does clapped mean as an insult? ◻️Beaten To get clapped means to get hit, beaten, or otherwise wrecked. This slang term derives from a lesser-known definition of clap - which can mean to slap someone. People also use clapped to call someone or something ugly. (e.g. "Rob's looking clapped today.") In this case, the implication is the clapped thing looks as though it has been repeatedly slapped or punched. This use of clapped can be extended to "clapped out," a phrase used to describe especially beat-up looking cars and machinery. ❓Example Ooh, he just got clapped! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix
