Definition

Extremely excessive, over-the-top, or dramatic in behavior or appearance; emphasizes intensity through the addition of 'af' (as fuck) to 'extra.'

Example Usage

Her reaction to the surprise party was extra af—she screamed and cried for ten minutes straight.

Origin

'Extra' entered slang in the 2010s meaning overdone; 'af' is an internet euphemism for the profanity 'as fuck,' popularized across social media.

Fun Fact

The 'af' abbreviation is primarily a digital-age innovation, allowing people to intensify slang terms while maintaining some workplace/family-friendly plausible deniability.
