🔘 Whatcha


What does whatcha mean?


◻️What are you

🔘 Mooch


What does mooch mean?


◻️To freeload

Mooch means to freeload. It describes the act of living off of someone else's resources or hard work, or to borrow without the intent to pay back.

Mooching is a common practice among lazy people who don't want to earn their way through life. There are varying degrees of mooching. It can be as bad as manipulating someone into paying for thousands of dollars of purchases or just eating french fries off of a person's plate. One of the more common mooches is sleeping on someone's couch.


❓Example
Forget your wallet and gonna mooch again, John?

🔘 Gate Lice


What does gate lice mean?


◻️People congregating around an airport gate

Lice makes everyone's skin crawl, and "gate lice" does the same for seasoned airplane travelers. Gate lice refers to passengers who get up and stand around a gate waiting to board the airplane instead of waiting for the gate attendant to announce their seating zone.

Veteran flyers get annoyed by gate lice because they congest the entrance for other passengers, possibly causing confusion and leading to longer wait times. For example, people waiting for their seat might be unable to hear their zone called or see a sign displaying the zone because of all the gate lice in their way.


❓Example
Aren't you seated in zone 2? They called it 5 minutes ago
I didn't even know my zone was called with all the gate lice noise

🔘 Bust A Cap


What does bust a cap mean?


◻️To shoot a gun

Bust a cap is a phrase that means "to shoot a gun," typically in the direction of a person to injure or kill him. It became popular in the mid-2000s in rap culture to brag about toughness or threaten other rappers.
While the term was heavily used in the 2000s by rappers, it was not coined by them. The phrase comes from "burst a cap," which dates back to the 1800s to describe the discharging of a firearm. The phrase was even used in the 1969 film True Grit when Ned Pepper says "I never busted a cap on a woman or nobody under sixteen."


❓Example
I'm gonna bust a cap in his face

🔘 Softmaxxing

What is softmaxxing?

◻️Making minor beauty improvements

Softmaxxing is when a person attempts to make minor improvements to their physical appearance. Examples of softmaxxing include changing your diet, slightly squinting your eyes or pushing your tongue to your mouth to accentuate your jawline (known as "mewing").
You will likely see softmaxxers online, whether it be on social media (e.g., influencers), in fashion forums, or within incel communities. For example, a model may provide softmaxxing techniques to her followers on Instagram.

❓Example
Craig has been acting weird recently
Yeah, he's been softmaxxing for his wedding in June
Ah, that explains why he's constantly chewing gum to improve his jawline

🔘 URTB

What does URTB stand for?

◻️You are the best

Someone who sends you URTB thinks "you are the best." You might receive this acronym after you do something swell for a friend, family member, or co-worker, as an expression of their appreciation.
If you want to quickly say "you're welcome" to the person who sent you URTB, you can respond with YW. If you want them to know their praise hasn't given you a big head, you can throw in a NP or NBD as well.

❓Example
Thanks for the idea, urtb
NP, happy to help!

🔘 CEO Of

What does being the CEO of something mean?

◻️The best at

Being the CEO of something means you are the very best (or at least incredibly exceptional) at doing that thing. For example, Batman is the CEO of detectives, Al Roker is the CEO of TV meteorology, and Kim Kardashian is the CEO of being famous for no reason.
TikTok users, especially, like to say that other users are the CEO of something - whether it be twerking, waffles, giving high fives, or the year 1957. CEO, of course, still means chief executive officer, but in this context, there is no actual company involved - just a GOAT social media champion, showing off their sick skills.

❓Example
Can you believe Serena Williams won again? That woman's the CEO of female tennis

🔘 Locked In

What does it mean when someone is locked in?

◻️Doing well

When someone is doing something so well, they are "locked in," meaning all other distractions fall away because they are incredibly focused on the task at hand. For example, if a person's fit perfectly complements their make-up, making them look amazing, they are "locked in."
You will see or hear people use "locked in" in person and online (including on social media). Some areas where people may be locked in include sports, fashion, and work.
For example, a basketball commentator may exclaim, "Brown is locked in tonight, draining his 5th three-pointer of the night!" Or, a Zendaya fan may ask, "Have you seen Dune 2 yet? My girl Zen was locked in!" And a more mundane example is "Luke just crushed his work presentation. He's locked in!"

❓Example
Jessica's dress is fire
Bet. She's locked in
