🔘 WhatchaWhat does whatcha mean?
◻️What are you
Whatcha is a commonly spoken and written abbreviation that combines "what are you" (or "what do you") into a single word. For example, you may ask your friend, "whatcha doin'?" or "whatcha thinkin'?"
You will likely hear or see whatcha in casual contexts, like gotcha, but it is so common that you may also hear or see it in more professional environments. Some instances include a conversation with a neighbor, a DM, or a text message.

🔘 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

🔘 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!

🔘 CRAFTWhat does CRAFT stand for?
◻️Can't remember a freakin' thing
CRAFT stands for "can't remember a freakin' thing." If you're drawing a blank on a particular fact or topic, you can tell the person you're chatting with that you CRAFT.
However, because CRAFT is an uncommon acronym, using it in a chat, email, or text message may confuse the person you're talking to. For example, if someone asks you what you did last night, and you say that you CRAFT, the person might think you spent your evening knitting or creating jewelry.
❓Example
I have to take the test tomorrow, and I feel like I CRAFT!

🔘 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

🔘 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."

🔘 Menty BWhat is a menty b?
◻️Mental breakdown
A menty b is a term many Gen Zers use to refer to stressful situations. For example, if a teenager's dad is making cringe jokes in front of their bae, they may text their friend, "Bout to have a menty b from my dad."
Origin of Menty b
Zoomers coined menty b in 2021 and often use it online, especially on Twitter and TikTok. The term's origins partially come from the stress brought on by the covid pandemic and Zoomers' amplification of threats to their mental health.
When do people use Menty b?
You will most likely see it online and in texts or hear it spoken aloud. For example, your teenage son may complain, "All this homework is gonna give me a menty b!" Or, a teenage girl may tweet, "I can't stand the wait for the concert. Imma have a menty b!"
❓Example
I started seeing a therapist after my latest menty b and I'm so much better now.
Wow, that's great to hear.

🔘 ICLWhat does ICL stand for?
◻️I can't lie
To emphasize the truth they are about to share, TikTok, Twitter, and Snapchat users often preface it with "ICL," which stands for "I can't lie." It is similar to the NGL and no cap terms users often accompany their posts with on social media.
People typically use ICL before dropping a truth bomb to give the victim a heads up that they should brace for impact. For example, your friend may post, "ICL, I'm divorcing Michael."

❓Example
ICL, Imma go crazy if I have to listen to "Let it go" one more time

🔘 SweeperWhat is a sweeper in baseball?
◻️A breaking ball that sweeps horizontally
In baseball, a sweeper is a pitch that breaks horizontally across home plate, mimicking a sweeping motion, hence the name. The pitch is very similar to a slider but breaks less downward and more horizontally (good sweepers may break 20 inches).
Sweeper is one of many baseball pitches, including fastball, changeup, curveball, slider, splitter, knuckleball, and ephus. Pitchers throw a sweeper with a slider grip, but the ball & seams are rotated around in the hand, allowing other forces to act on the ball.
Origin of sweeper
While the sweeper has been around for years (at least 30) in some form, the pitch gained prominence in the MLB in 2021 into 2022 and 2023. It is unclear who coined the term, but various pitchers, like David Cone, Adam Ottavino, Sergio Romo, Corey Kluber, and Yu Darvish, have utilized it.
❓Example
Ohtani with the sweeper to put out Altuve!
Wow, that really fooled him to get out of the jam

🔘 Easter EggWhat is an Easter egg?
◻️A hidden message
An Easter egg is a hidden message or inside joke. Easter eggs commonly appear in video games, movies, TV shows, and computer programs.
In video games, an Easter egg might be a hidden item, a funny image, or something else a developer may have hidden in a game. One example of an Easter egg in the Grand Theft Auto V video game is a reference to the 1991 movie Thelma and Louise. If you fly a helicopter to a mountainous region on the map, you can see a reenaction of the famous scene from the film where (spoiler alert) Thelma and Louise drive their convertible off a cliff.
In movies or TV shows, Easter eggs may be references to something else in pop culture or inside jokes among the cast and crew. The movie studio Pixar is notorious for adding Easter eggs to their films. For example, they include a Jessie doll from Toy Story 2 in Boo's room in Monsters, Inc., and they cast John Ratzenberger as a voice actor in all of their feature-length films.
❓Example
That game has a great Easter egg reference to the game's creator.
