And these are words that are used commonly by native English speakers in real life.

And when it comes to slang terms, even if you choose not to use them in your everyday life,

they are still very important to at least understand so that you're capable of communicating with English speakers who are of a different age bracket than yourself.

Today we're going to go over 10 slang terms in the English language that you may or may not have heard of.

The first term is the word "yeet."

Now, the word yeet is referring to throwing something or moving something with a strong amount of force or enthusiasm.

So for example, he yeeted the ball across the room.

So that means he would have thrown a ball across the room with a very strong amount of force or enthusiasm.

This is also commonly referring to moving your steering wheel in a car very forcefully in one direction.

A lot of slang words in English are making reference to pop culture and music.

So it is also important to immerse yourself in English culture if you are to understand what these words mean and where they were even referenced from.

The next word is "lit."

Now, if something is lit, it just means that it's exciting or highly enjoyable.

So for example, the party last night was lit.

In some cases but less commonly, the word lit can be referring to somebody who is drunk.

So for example, he got too lit last night because he had too much to drink.

The next term is "flex."

Now, simply put, to flex just means to show off or boast about something.

So for example, he's always flexing his new sneakers.

There are also many variations of the word flex.

So for example, if someone is showing off in a subtle or indirect way, we would say that they are subtly flexing or what they did was a subtle flex.

The next slang term is the word salty.

Now if somebody is salty, it simply just means that they're bitter or resentful about something.

They could also be bitter or resentful about someone who is annoying them.

For example, she's salty because she lost the game.

The next slang term and a pretty common one would be the word "GOAT."

GOAT is simply just an acronym that is referring to the greatest of all time.

For example, Michael Jordan is the GOAT of basketball.

The next slang term is the word "wack."

If something is wack, it just means that it's lame, weird, uncool, or disappointing.

For example, that movie was wack. I fell asleep halfway through.

The next slang term is the word "clout."

Now in a nutshell, simply put, the word clout is just referring to having influence.

This is particularly referring to someone with influence on social media or someone who is popular.

For example, she gained clout after her video went viral.

The next slang term is "bad."

Now this one is a bit of an oxymoron because the term bad is actually being used in a positive context when it's used as a slang term.

Bad as a slang term is referring to someone who is physically attractive, typically a female.

For example, she's bad. I can't stop thinking about her.

The next slang term is the word "savage."

If somebody is savage, it means that they're fearless, bold, or ruthless.

The word savage can also be used to describe things and not just people.

For example, she made a savage comeback during the argument.

Another slang term would be the word "facts."

If somebody says facts, it just means that they are acknowledging a true statement.

For example, if you told me that it gets cold during the wintertime in the country of Canada, I would facts.

And there you have it.

Those are 10 commonly used slang terms in the English language.

If you practice your listening skills on TikTok or Instagram Reels, and if you read a lot of the comments or scroll through a lot of content creators who are below the age of 30 years old,
