English Slang Words Terms

🔘 Trolling What does trolling mean? ◻️Posting offensive comments A term that stands for the act of posting offensive or inflammatory comments to invoke some kind of reaction; often includes statements that are false yet sneaky so that people believe them. ❓Example I think he should be banned from the forum for trolling ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Throw Hands What does it mean to throw hands? ◻️Fight  Throw hands is a slang term that means "Fight." It is typically used online but is also commonly spoken in real-life to refer to physical or verbal confrontations. The term comes from lifting, or throwing, your hands up like a boxer at the start of a match to get ready to attack another person or defend yourself. It is typically used by teenagers and young adults to warn a person about the scuffle they are about to get into. Throw hands began to gain popularity in the mid-2010s then surged in 2019 and into 2020. It is most often seen on social sites, like Twitter and Facebook, where arguments are commonplace. Some variations of the term include "Throwing hands" and "Give 'em the hands." ❓Example If he keeps trolling me imma throw hands ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Rp What is rp short for? ◻️Roleplay Rp is short for "roleplay" (which may also be spelled "role play" or "role-play"). People often use this abbreviation when playing RPGs, but anyone engaging in a bit of make-believe may also use it. When roleplaying, a person mimics the personality and behavior of a (usually) made-up character. For example, DnD players often roleplay as fighters, wizards, rogues, and other fantasy characters. However, anyone can engage in roleplay, and roleplay does not need to involve fantasy characters or even RPGs. For example, therapists often engage their clients in therapeutic roleplay, and some couples (and throuples) enjoy roleplaying to spice up their love lives. ❓Example Wanna RP tonight? Sure, I can after 8 Sweet ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 ASMR What kind of videos are ASMR? ◻️Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response ASMR means Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, but these days, the acronym is more commonly used to describe a genre of YouTube videos that trigger ASMR sensations. The videos typically feature someone performing a quiet, repetitive task, such as whisking an egg, or speaking in a slow, low whisper. These stimuli trigger relaxing, tingling sensations in some viewers. The term ASMR is believed to have originated in 2010, when a forum poster named Jennifer Allen coined the term to describe the spontaneous, euphoric sensations she and other posters experienced in response to certain audio and visual stimuli. Usually, these stimuli take the form of: A soft, slow-paced speaking voice Repetitive motions or sounds, usually produced by performing a mundane task Chewing, crunching, popping, or tapping sounds Certain hand movements, especially a person moving their hand to their face Attentive role play Despite ASMR's rise in pop culture prevalence (and its surprisingly clinical-sounding expansion), science has yet to explain the phenomenon. Some researchers believe ASMR is a pleasure response triggered within areas of the brain related to social or grooming behavior, while others believe ASMR could be a type of (very minor and likely harmless) seizure. ❓Example Oh, that tapping sound ... that gives me some really good ASMR. I didn't know typing could make me feel so good ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 HOPE What does HOPE stand for? ◻️Have Only Positive Expectations HOPE is a backronym that stands for "have only positive expectations," which is some people's definition of "hope." Wait ... what's a backronym? Glad you asked. A backronym is an acronym that is created to fit an already existing word. In this case, the word hope already existed, and some clever soul decided to coin an acronym that a) used hope's letters and b) defined the act of hoping. Pretty nifty, huh? ❓Example Remember, whatever the circumstances, don't forget to HOPE! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Ish What does ish mean? ◻️Kind of Ish is a term for "kind of" or "sort of" that is used by someone who is not 100% sure of what they are saying. It is usually said at the end of an answer much like "maybe." The term should only be used in a casual setting since more formal settings demand a higher form of etiquette and eloquent speech. It is most commonly spoken but may appear online or as a text too. ❓Example What's your ETA? Probs around 9ish ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 TMB What does TMB stand for? ◻️Text me back Someone who sends you TMB (text me back) wants you to text them back - likely ASAP. This acronym most frequently appears in text messages, but may also be seen in emails and online chat, when a person wants you to answer their message via text instead of another medium. TMB is related to CMB (call me back), MMB (message me back), and WMB (write me back). It is more likely to be used by friends and family members than co-workers and employees/employers, as friends and family members are more comfortable texting each other. ❓Example What do you want for dinner? Hey, TMB! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 ICCL What does ICCL stand for? ◻️I couldn't care less ICCL stands for "I couldn't care less." People use this acronym when they don't care about something you've said. (Hopefully, you weren't too invested in that thing.) You're most likely to receive ICCL in text or chat messages, sent by disinterested friends, family members, or co-workers. However, because ICCL is a quite common acronym, you may also encounter it on forums and social media. ❓Example How do you feel about Disney remaking The Lion King? Honestly ICCL ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix

🔘 Snoozefeed What does snoozefeed mean? ◻️  To scroll your newsfeed instead of getting out of bed Snoozefeed is a term that refers to the act of scrolling through and browsing your newsfeed instead of getting out of bed. The term combines "snooze" and "news feed." It's common to hit the snooze button in the morning when the alarm clock goes off. But instead of going back to sleep you get your phone or tablet out and scroll through your social media newsfeed. ❓Example I actually woke up at 7 but I was snoozefeeding for about an hour ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix
