Definition

East Coast slang that's short for 'dead ass serious,' used to emphasize that you're being completely honest or to express strong agreement. Born in New York street culture, it migrated across the country and internet like a linguistic virus, often paired with 'B' or 'son' for maximum authenticity. If you're not from the tri-state area and using it, prepare to be judged accordingly.

Example Usage

Deadass, I waited two hours for that sneaker drop and they sold out in 30 seconds.

For example, your friend may message you, "my blind date just whipped out a bottle of ranch from her purse to add to her meal," and you reply with "lolz." Or, your sister messages you a picture of her sweater that shrank from the dryer, and you respond with, "that's perfect for my dolls! lolz."

bts bomb

The official light stick for BTS concerts that had airport security doing double-takes until fans explained it's not an actual explosive device. This glowing wand of K-pop devotion lights up and syncs with concerts, though BTS member Jin has hilariously repurposed his for everything from fishing to general tomfoolery. It's less "bomb threat" and more "bomb choreography."
