🔘 CRAFT

What does CRAFT stand for?


◻️Can't remember a freakin' thing

CRAFT stands for "can't remember a freakin' thing." If you're drawing a blank on a particular fact or topic, you can tell the person you're chatting with that you CRAFT.
However, because CRAFT is an uncommon acronym, using it in a chat, email, or text message may confuse the person you're talking to. For example, if someone asks you what you did last night, and you say that you CRAFT, the person might think you spent your evening knitting or creating jewelry.


❓Example
I have to take the test tomorrow, and I feel like I CRAFT!

🔘 Clapped


What does clapped mean as an insult?


◻️Beaten

To get clapped means to get hit, beaten, or otherwise wrecked. This slang term derives from a lesser-known definition of clap - which can mean to slap someone.
People also use clapped to call someone or something ugly. (e.g. "Rob's looking clapped today.") In this case, the implication is the clapped thing looks as though it has been repeatedly slapped or punched. This use of clapped can be extended to "clapped out," a phrase used to describe especially beat-up looking cars and machinery.


❓Example
Ooh, he just got clapped!

🔘 DM Slide


What is a DM slide?


◻️Direct message to a crush

A DM slide is a direct message (DM) sent to a crush on a social platform, such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. The DM is a sly way to privately message a person instead of via a user's public profile.
Since DMs are private messages (PM), people often use the DM feature to communicate with others about a sensitive matter. In the case of most DM slides, they are messages where users shoot their shots.

Typically, people who just met are the ones to perform a DM slide. However, people who are friends with someone but are also too nervous to ask their friend out may do a DM slide.

As a heads up, you cannot slide into a user's DMs without being mutuals with them (following each other). Also, if the recipient does not reciprocate your feelings, they may label you as a creeper.


❓Example
I can't believe Lawrence's DM slide was successful. He got a date this Saturday

🔘 Whatcha


What does whatcha mean?


◻️What are you

Whatcha is a commonly spoken and written abbreviation that combines "what are you" (or "what do you") into a single word. For example, you may ask your friend, "whatcha doin'?" or "whatcha thinkin'?"

🔘 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?
