🔘 Left No CrumbsWhat does left no crumbs mean?
◻️Completely dominated
Left no crumbs is another way to say that someone completely obliterated (in a good way) another person, game, performance, look, etc. People typically use it with the "ate that" phrase to emphasize someone's fantastic achievement.
There is no clear creator to attribute the phrase to; instead, it organically evolved out of the "ate that" saying on social media. It gained popularity in 2017 but took off in early 2018 and is similar to the "left no prisoners" saying.
Examples of when you would see it include on Twitter when a person is stanning their favorite musician or in a message from your work boyfriend remarking how well you did on your presentation. You may also say it in person to your BFF after she sings great at a talent show.
❓Example
Wow, Melanie, you ate that show and left no crumbs! YGG!

🔘 LooksmatchWhat does looksmatch mean?
◻️Matching the attractiveness of another person
Looksmatch is when a person matches the physical attractiveness of the person they are intimate with, whether they are hooking up or in a relationship. Most intimate relationships include looksmatched individuals, although it is not required for them to be successful.
For example, a relationship may involve a person who is much more attractive than their partner (not looksmatched), but it still works (often, a female is more attractive in these types of heterosexual relationships). However, these are typically anomalies, and individuals outside the relationship will likely point out and obsess over the discrepancy.
❓Example
Brian and Lissa are an odd pairing
Yeah, they aren't looksmatched at all
Maybe he has a great personality
Or ... he's just rich

🔘 NFIAHWhat does NFIAH stand for online?
◻️Never fear, I am here
When greeting friends online, you can message them "NFIAH," which stands for "never fear, I am here." The saying comes from a phrase some superheroes say when they arrive at the scene.
Most people use NFIAH when entering a chatroom, forum, or message thread. The discussion may be regarding an issue that the individual thinks they can solve or remedy, much like a superhero. Or, they may not be solving any problem and just think very highly of themself.
For example, a user may post in a forum dedicated to solving PC issues, "NFIAH! What's the sitch?" Or, a user may join a message thread and say, "NFIAH, WU?"
❓Example
Hey fellow chatroom friends, NFIAH!
Thank God. We were stumped
