I should probably PM one of you lucky folks for an answer...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

to my question...

But every now and then I see someone respond in a post with this:

WORD

What does it mean?

After almost 2 years here, I still don't know what it means....:cry:

1. From urbandictionary.com:

2. word



A versatile declaration, originating (more or less) in hip-hop culture.

"Word" has no single meaning, but is used to convey a casual sense of affirmation, acknowledgement, agreement, or to indicate that something has impressed you favorably.

Its usage among young blacks has been parodied ad nauseam among clueless suburban whites.

"Come on, man, we're going to the store."
"Word."

2. It means:

Yes.

Awesome.

Cool.

You said it.

Correct.

I agree.

And generally anything positive.

4. My dear billy!

Thank you as well, sweetie......

I would be clueless!

7. Basically, it means you're in agreement with whatever was just said.

For example:

"George Bush is a douchebag."
"Word."

or

"That was some killer shit."
"Word."

(the second example would probably be in reference to weed or coke).

9. My dear haruka!

I'm getting it!

And yes, even I know what "killer shit" means, but thanks for telling me anyway, sweetie!

I appreciate your input tonight.......:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. I figured I'd explain 'killer shit' anyway. I mean yesterday I had to explain 'e-tard' to my mom.

I had totally figured she knew what it meant.

8. It's sometimes spelled like this: Werd.

[gordontron]

21. 40's jazz slang.

Queenie = attractive or respected woman. A term of endearment.

I'm booted = I understand / I agree.
