🔘 DM SlideWhat is a DM slide?
◻️Direct message to a crush
A DM slide is a direct message (DM) sent to a crush on a social platform, such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. The DM is a sly way to privately message a person instead of via a user's public profile.
Since DMs are private messages (PM), people often use the DM feature to communicate with others about a sensitive matter. In the case of most DM slides, they are messages where users shoot their shots.
Typically, people who just met are the ones to perform a DM slide. However, people who are friends with someone but are also too nervous to ask their friend out may do a DM slide.
As a heads up, you cannot slide into a user's DMs without being mutuals with them (following each other). Also, if the recipient does not reciprocate your feelings, they may label you as a creeper.
❓Example
I can't believe Lawrence's DM slide was successful. He got a date this Saturday

🔘 LL&PWhat does LL&P stand for?
◻️Live long and prosper
Trekkies may end a conversation by telling you to LL&P, which stands for "live long and prosper." This acronym is a condensed version of Star Trek character Spock's famous salute.
In real life, Trekkies often pair "live long and prosper" with a hand gesture known as the Vulcan salute (shown below). In text, you may see LL&P accompanied by a hand emoji that replicates the Vulcan salute. If so, you can be certain that LL&P stands for "live long and prosper."
❓Example
Catch you at the next movie night. LL&P
u2!

🔘 StokedWhat does stoked mean?
◻️Excited
Stoked is a term people use when they are excited about something, whether it be a fun gathering, the premiere of a TV show, or the perfect set of surfing waves. While extreme athletes, such as skateboarders, snowboarders, and surfers, most often use "stoked," anybody may use it.
For example, if you are excited about a get-together with your crush, your friend may say, "Wow, you are really juiced for this date!" Or, you may be excited about your Super Bowl party and post a picture of your food with the caption, "So juiced for the big game today. It's gonna be great!"
❓Example
I'm totally stoked for the movie this weekend!
Me, too! Can't wait!

◻️Fear of missing out
FOMO is the fear of missing out on something exciting, memorable, or just plain better than what you are currently experiencing. For example, if your friends are going to a concert together but you are stuck at a work meeting, you might experience FOMO.
❓Example
I decided to go to the game, even though it's likely going to be a blowout. My FOMO is too high

🔘 WOATWhat does WOAT stand for?
◻️Worst of all time
WOAT is an acronym that stands for "Worst of all time," which is the opposite of the more common GOAT acronym that stands for "Greatest of all time." The acronym may be used to describe anything that is terrible, whether it be an athlete, food, or piece of technology.
You will often see the acronym in sports discussions in a joking manner to contrast the GOAT acronym, which is used so often to argue about who's the best athlete. The acronym may also commonly appear in forums or on social media to discuss the worst people or things they have experienced.
❓Example
Wow, he is the WOAT. I can't believe he's still in the league

🔘 BandHow much is a band?
◻️One thousand dollars
A band is one thousand dollars, also known as a grand, stack, or G. The term comes from the band placed around a stack of cash to hold it together.
Band is often used in contexts where money is being bragged about, such as a club or rap song. The term is typically seen as "bands", which refers to multiple thousands of dollars. If the band contains more than 1G, say 10Gs, then it may be called a "10G band" or "10K band."
❓Example
He be flauntin' those bands filling his hands

🔘 GnWhat does gn mean in messages?
◻️Goodnight
Gn is a quick way to wish others "goodnight" when ending a text or online conversation before going to sleep. For example, when concluding a late night convo with a friend, you might say, "Getting late in this time zone, gn!"
Typically, people send gn when it's late at night, but for all those night shift workers and nap enthusiasts, they may try to sneak in a mid-day gn. Although, in these cases, gn probably doesn't make much sense (gd?).
Gn is one of many ways to leave a conversation to go count sheep. Other options include G9, gnite, and GNE1 (when there's a crowd).
❓Example
Thanks for talking, gn!
U2, sleep well

🔘 ClappedWhat does clapped mean as an insult?
◻️Beaten
To get clapped means to get hit, beaten, or otherwise wrecked. This slang term derives from a lesser-known definition of clap - which can mean to slap someone.
People also use clapped to call someone or something ugly. (e.g. "Rob's looking clapped today.") In this case, the implication is the clapped thing looks as though it has been repeatedly slapped or punched. This use of clapped can be extended to "clapped out," a phrase used to describe especially beat-up looking cars and machinery.
❓Example
Ooh, he just got clapped!

🔘 IYKYKWhat does IYKYK mean online and in messages?
◻️If you know you know
IYKYK stands for "If you know you know," which people may use on social media or in messages. It refers to some sort of shared experience or inside joke, that if you know, then you know.
Teenagers and young adults typically use IYKYK on social sites like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. It became popular in 2019 and may be preceded by a hashtag and accompanying an image or video.
Most people use IYKYK as a nod to those who will get an inside joke or reference that others would not pick up on reading at the surface level. For example, your friend may tweet that she'll never listen to Bruno Mars again and include "iykyk," which is a nod to those that know that was her ex's and her favorite singer.
Some people may also use IYKYK to exclude people and/or make them feel bad about not understanding or knowing something. An example of this is when a person missed out on an epic party or wasn't present when a bunch of girlfriends were sharing gossip.
❓Example
Wait, did Monica and Chase break up?
Yep, last nite. #IYKYK

🔘 ChungusWhat does chungus mean?
◻️A cute, chunky creature
Chungus means a cute, chunky creature. While the term was originally popularized by video game journalist Jim Sterling and online gamers, its use has increased and morphed such that you might hear someone at your local park shout "Look at that chungus!" while pointing at an adorably fat squirrel.
When Sterling began using the term chungus, it had no actual meaning. A Redditor named GaryTheTaco, however, paired the term with an image of an overweight Bugs Bunny, creating a mock-up for a fake PS4 game called Big Chungus. This image eventually went viral, leading to chungus's association with cartooinshly overweight creatures.
❓Example
Aw, look at that squirrel. It's a chungus among us
