🔘 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

🔘 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
