No cap, this category is bussin fr fr.
To do something exceptionally well, to absolutely crush it, to dominate with style and confidence. Originally from ballroom culture, it's now used for everything from a perfect outfit to successfully parallel parking. The bar is wherever you need it to be.
A romantic entanglement that exists in the gray area between friendship and a relationship, defined by its refusal to be defined. It's dating without the label, commitment without the commitment, and confusion without end. The official relationship status of 'it's complicated.'
Short for 'suspicious' or 'suspect,' popularized by the game Among Us where you vote out the imposter. Now used for anything even mildly questionable. Your friend cancels plans last minute? Sus. Someone is being too nice? Very sus. Trust no one.
An extremely devoted fan, originally from the Eminem song about an obsessive follower named Stan. Now it's been softened to mean 'enthusiastic supporter' because the internet takes everything and makes it casual. You can stan a person, a show, or a specific type of cheese.
Someone who does way too much for a person who gives them nothing in return. Originally meant 'Suckers Idolizing Mediocre People' but now it's used anytime anyone shows basic human kindness toward their crush. Held a door open? Simp. Said 'good morning'? Mega simp.
An unexpected detour or task that wasn't part of your original plan, borrowed from video game terminology. Going to the store for milk and coming home with a plant, three candles, and a new hobby? That's a side quest. Life is just main quests you ignore for side quests.
Looking so good that your appearance metaphorically snatches people's attention, wigs, and will to live. Originally from drag culture, it now means anything that looks incredibly sharp, tight, or perfect. Your outfit? Snatched. Your eyebrows? Snatched. Your edges? Absolutely snatched.
Subtly introducing a new romantic partner on social media without fully revealing their identity -- think a hand in a photo, the back of a head, a mysterious second coffee cup. It's the relationship equivalent of a movie teaser trailer that shows nothing but generates maximum speculation.
An attack from a large group of stans. A stanpede will use tactics such as death threats, doxxing, and canceling to retaliate against someone who has a negative opinion of the person they stan.
Superfab is what you call a girl who is the type of person who will look for her online friend after 3 years of not seeing them and manage to find them.
shove it up your ass
You may see sho used online and in texts or hear it aloud in person. People often use it to answer in the affirmative. For example, a person may respond with "Sho thang" when asked if they can meet for coffee. Or, you may ask your friend, "You sho you ok?"
This shit a word fr yall should believe me
The social media equivalent of an automated response system, where someone indiscriminately likes every single comment on their Facebook post regardless of content. Destroys the illusion that they genuinely appreciated your witty observation, revealing instead that they're just mechanically acknowledging all engagement. The participation trophy of digital interaction.
An exclamation expressing disbelief, appreciation, or being impressed—often accompanied by exaggerated finger-pointing gestures. The auditory equivalent of keyboard smashing.
Describes something, usually music or food, that's exceptionally good. When something hits so hard you need a word more aggressive than 'good' but less committed than 'life-changing.'
Delivering an exceptional look, performance, or vibe. When someone shows up so perfectly that they're basically handing out excellence on a platter, whether requested or not.
The highest compliment in fashion and confidence, describing someone who's absolutely killing it with unapologetic boldness and style. When 'serving' alone can't capture the sheer audacity of someone's excellence.
A delightfully British-sounding collective noun for a bunch of dangerous pointy things that really should be in a sharps container but somehow ended up loose in your bin. Think broken glass, pins, and that random razor blade you swear you threw away properly. It's like a treasure hunt, except the treasure is tetanus.
The serial flake in your friend group who treats plans like suggestions and "see you at 8" like a rough draft. This person has elevated backing out at the last minute to an art form, leaving you sitting at the restaurant alone wondering why you still answer their texts. Can be used as both a noun (the person) and a verb (the act of flaking).
The comedy equivalent of reheated pizza—technically the same content, but somehow tragically diminished in the retelling. The phenomenon where you attempt to recreate a hilarious moment for friends but lose all comedic timing, forget the punchline, and start laughing at your own butchered version. It's why 'you had to be there' exists as a phrase.
The permanent fog that settles over someone who's spent too much quality time with recreational substances. Characterized by perpetually misplaced keys, conspiracy theories, and the vague sense that you used to be sharper. It's the long-term cognitive afterglow of a lifestyle that prioritized good times over brain cells—think less "altered consciousness" and more "permanently buffering."
The secret Boy Scout rank for closeted trans girls. More exclusive than the Order of the Arrow.
A mother or overbearing girlfriend that smothers their adult child/ boyfriend with too much love, affection, bossy demands and food.
