Lowkey

Definition

An adverb meaning 'slightly,' 'secretly,' or 'not that seriously' -- used to soften any opinion so you have plausible deniability. It turns any bold statement into a casual whisper. 'I lowkey love that song' means you have it on repeat but your reputation depends on no one knowing.

Example Usage

"I lowkey think pigeons are cute," I said, fully aware that I follow three pigeon fan accounts and have named the one outside my window Gerald."
