lowkey
“Kind of,” “quietly,” or “I am admitting this without making a big deal of it.” A low-key event is also relaxed or understated.
no cap
“Honestly,” “for real,” or “I am not exaggerating.” Cap means a lie or an exaggeration in this slang context.
mid
Mediocre, underwhelming, or not worth the hype. Usually a criticism, even though it literally suggests the middle.
ate
Performed brilliantly, looked excellent, or completely delivered. “Ate and left no crumbs” intensifies the compliment.
bet
“Okay,” “agreed,” “sounds good,” or “challenge accepted.” The tone depends on what the speaker is responding to.
vibe coding
Building software by repeatedly prompting an AI and reacting to the result, especially when the person pays little attention to the underlying code.
AI slop
Low-quality AI-generated material, especially output produced in volume with little concern for accuracy, coherence, or usefulness.
side quest
An optional detour from the main objective in a game, or a spontaneous little adventure away from your original plan in everyday life.
