π H/w
β»οΈHomework
H/w is a common way to abbreviate homework, which is schoolwork a teacher assigns to students to work on outside of class at home. It may be an essay, book report, presentation, worksheet, or another type of task.
Many students despise h/w because it infringes on their free time outside of school, like going to a movie or hanging out at a friend's house. Nevertheless, students in elementary school to college have to work on h/w, although the way they complete it has changed over the years. For example, students in the 1980s had to complete their work on paper with a pencil, pen, or typewriter; but students in the 2020s often complete and submit their work on a computer via the Internet.
Mostly tweens, teens, and young adults use the abbreviation. You can also remove the slash in the abbreviation to make hw.
βExample
Do you know if that class is going to have a lot of h/w?

π Whoa
β»οΈExpression of surprise
Whoa is a common term people use to express surprise or shock at something. You will see or hear it in messages, in emails, online, and in real life (IRL).
For example, your sister may be talking on the phone and exclaim, "Whoa! Is he OK?" when discovering your neighbor was in a car accident. Or, your mom and dad may text you an awesome birthday surprise, and you respond with, "Whoa! Amazing!" While the pronunciation is the same, people may also spell whoa as "woah."
βExample
Whoa! I had no idea they got engaged!
Ya, they kept it a secret for a while

π Big Mad
β»οΈVery angry
Big mad is another way to say that you are furious with someone or something. For example, you might be big mad at your sister after she ruins your favorite shirt, or you might be big mad that you didn't get a promotion at work.
Big mad arose in popularity in 2017 along with "big yikes," which is an exaggeration of "yikes." Most people use it on social media when posting about their frustration, while some may also say it aloud in person when ranting.
If you encounter someone who is big mad, you should probably give them space to chill. Or, if they are looking to vent, you can listen and empathize with their plight.
βExample
I'm big mad. I can't believe she said that about my bf after she just met him
