🔘@EnglishSlangWordsBrain Fart
What does brain fart mean?
◻️Brief absence of intelligence
Brain fart is a phrase that is employed when a normally intelligent person says or does something dumb. It comes from the temporariness of a fart and its similarity to a brief lapse of judgment.
The person who has the brain fart must be usually intelligent or else they aren't brain farts, that person is just not very bright. Brain fart may also appear as the @EnglishSlangWords acronym and is also similar to the @EnglishSlangWords acronym.
❓Example
Does the "Blind Xing" sign mean that blind people cross there? Oh forget I said that, brain fart

🔘@EnglishSlangWordsAlpha Male
What is an alpha male?
◻️A dominant male
Alpha male is a nuanced term that people often use online on social media and forums. For example, someone who views it reverently may say, "I love Mike's alpha male energy. His confidence is refreshing."
On the other hand, people may view alpha male behavior as archaic and, in some contexts, toxic. For example, a person with a critical viewpoint of alpha males may say, " I'm so annoyed by these obnoxious alpha males insulting other guys for being kind."
❓Example
My alpha cousin keeps posting memes about how modern men spend too much time getting woke and not enough time getting swole
Isn't he like 16?

🔘@EnglishSlangWordsLocked 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 @EnglishSlangWords perfectly complements their make-up, making them look amazing, they are "locked in."

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 @EnglishSlangWords his work presentation. He's locked in!"

🔘@EnglishSlangWordsHop Off

Hop off means "Go away" or "Leave me alone." It is used both online and offline to tell a person that he should stop whatever he's doing and leave you alone.

🔘@EnglishSlangWordsCEO 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 @EnglishSlangWords, waffles, giving high fives, or the year 1957. @EnglishSlangWords, of course, still means chief executive officer, but in this context, there is no actual company involved - just a @EnglishSlangWords social media champion, showing off their @EnglishSlangWords skills.
❓Example
Can you believe Serena Williams won again? That woman's the CEO of female tennis

🔘@EnglishSlangWordsLooksmatch
What does looksmatch mean?
◻️Matching the attractiveness of another person
Looksmatch is when a person matches the physical attractiveness of the person they are intimate with, whether they are @EnglishSlangWords or in a relationship. Most intimate relationships include looksmatched individuals, although it is not required for them to be successful.
For example, a relationship may involve a person who is much more attractive than their partner (not looksmatched), but it still works (often, a female is more attractive in these types of heterosexual relationships). However, these are typically anomalies, and individuals outside the relationship will likely point out and obsess over the discrepancy.
❓Example
Brian and Lissa are an odd pairing
Yeah, they aren't looksmatched at all
Maybe he has a great personality
Or ... he's just rich
