Have you ever used the phrase "this slaps"?

[Still-alive]

It's some new slang thats developed. here's some examples

“This song slaps!”
“Why does this song slap so hard?”
“This recipe slaps!”
“That slaps!”
Basically, when someone says that something “slaps”, it means that they think it is very good.

I have used this phrase before

I have not used it but know of it

I've never heard of this phrase before

This question slaps!

[SaoirseS]

I've heard of them, but never used them. "Burnt slap up" is pretty common in my neck of the woods. I've used that before.

[Still-alive]

what does that mean? lol

[SaoirseS]

Burnt to a crisp lol.

[Still-alive]

i uhh don't get it lol.

can you use that in a sentence?

[SaoirseS]

Oh, we're doing the Scripps Howard Spelling Bee now? Well ok. It can be used several ways. Like a race car driver pulling off the track with smoke pouring out of the engine might comment: "Well, that engine's burnt slap up." Or if you want someone to cook your steak well done but it gets served to you on a plate looking like it's totally burned, then you might say "That steak is burnt slap up."

[SaoirseS]

In other words, not only burnt, but burnt completely.

[SaoirseS]

It's more known as a redneck phrase, if you're not around any rednecks or country folks then you probably haven't heard it.

[Still-alive]

sounds like 'redneck-ese' :P

thanks for clearing that up

[SaoirseS]

Just to clarify, that doesn't mean country people are all rednecks. Oddly enough, the last time I heard the phrase used was at the Medical Examiner's office. I went to pick up the bagged remains of a man who perished in a house fire. He told me "That's a closed casket one for sure. He's burnt slap up."

[PrettyPriya]

First time hearing this. Filing it in my vocabulary for later use 😉

[Still-alive]

i think its a gen z thing :P

[PrettyPriya]

@Still-alive

Probably not an India thing either 😉

[karaspara]

@Still-alive @PrettyPriya Maybe the youth here use it but it's not one i'm familiar with lol

[PrettyPriya]

@Still-alive

You are too kind good friend! Thank you for mhg 🥰😘

[goaded]

At least it's not as stupid as "I could care less".

If you could care less, you care at least a bit, maybe a lot.

[goaded]

In the UK, it's common to have a slap up meal, though.

[Still-alive]

yeah its still a pet peeve of mine when people get that phrase wrong lol

[Kaneki05]

This question slaps.
Yeah i have, and i don't think it's that new really. People were saying that in 2000s.

[Still-alive]

i don't recall hearing this phrase before 5 years ago

[Kaneki05]

Urban dictionary say's 2004. But it was way before that even. Pretty much when a person liked a song, they would always say this song slaps and etc.

[Still-alive]

not in my area

[Kaneki05]

Come to england, we have all the slang words. America slack a bit on them lol

[Still-alive]

@karaspara @chrismaster69

is he right?

[ChrisMaster69]

Never heard of slap as in the context, saying that I have a full shit ton of stuff from cockwomble to spank bubble.

Yes

You do get Fuckwits trying to be all Gansta with it, until mum here’s them, then they talk properly lol.

Not saying it’s not been used but not mainstream

[Kaneki05]

Tbh i think the first time i heard it was from Eminem and he's not even British so, and that was from his 2000s era. But who knows. By now tho all slangs that can be said have been so.

[karaspara]

I haven't but I may start using it in exchange for you guys using nonce 😜

[Still-alive]

i think ill use the word "numpty" :P

[PrettyPriya]

@karaspara

Please give me the correct usage and definition of “nonce” for my in head English dictionary. ❤️

[karaspara]

@PrettyPriya any sex offender but particularly a sex offender who targets children

[PrettyPriya]

@karaspara

Am I safe to assume this is a UK word and usage?

[karaspara]

@PrettyPriya Yes it is hun

[DonkeyDan]

@karaspara I called someone a nonce just today on one of my questions 🤣

[karaspara]

@DonkeyDan Yes love it 😂😂😂

[ChrisMaster69]

Not in that context.

sounds like some made up shit that got posted on Social media and people are trying to push,

hopefully it’s the last time I hear it

[SaoirseS]

@ChrisMaster69. See my comment above regarding "burnt slap up." How it ever got started I don't know, but it gets used here once in a while. But Americans are notorious for doing some weird things to the language, and the British have every right to rag on us the way they do. Some things drive me nuts!

[purplepoppy]

I've been called a slapper many times. Is it the same thing?

[goaded]

Obviously! :)

[Lillie_xo]

whoever does are clearly a menace to society (scary) (aaaaaaa) (menace!)

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Never used the phrase, "This Slaps" but she is gorgeous for sure

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Nope, never heard of it, never used it.. Sounds stupid if you all me🤷😂

[readyplayer001]

never heard it now i am going to come up with my own stupid phrase like- thats corn chips bro!

[DonkeyDan]

What? Nope never heard it before, probably won't ever use it either lol

[menina]

I've never heard of that phrase before but this question slaps!

[electromagnetic]

I don’t even know what that is. These young whipper Snappers have new words every week.

[Cherry234]

I haven't heard of this phrase before and it sounds weird

[Sarahr123]

I don’t know. I find every new slang and old slang weird and cringe.

[krin_m]

Don't know what that means, I suppose I can guess based on the context of the conversation.

[Still-alive]

i said what it means lol

[krin_m]

Oh I know, but the new generation sometimes uses words in an opposit way. When my son says this 'sick'. He means this is awesome! :-)
So my silly remark was in that context.

[exitseven]

Nah, not crazy about it. I'll stick with the old standby "this song sucks".

[snackthatsmilesback]

I've not used it that I can recall but I've definitely heard of it.

[shortster]

I reject this reality and substitute my own.

[Thegreendagger]

Bro black people been saying it's slap for at least 5 year I can say.

[Dvchill]

This is a banger is the closest I’ve heard to slaps… and bangers are deep and heavy base

[KellyKOO]

I've heard the phrase a few times and never used it. It's not my thing.

[doopayo]

Not new slang, it’s just aave I’m pretty sure.

[Still-alive]

well i've not heard it more than ill say 4-5 years ago. its new to me

[Slim57]

I haven't used it but this youtuber I watch always says it in his live streams

[Flower7]

Nope, never used it and never even heard of it!

[spartan55]

Haven't heard it, hope I never do.

[JosyJosy]

First time I hear about it

[ChloeStarlight]

I’ve heard of the phrase but I don’t use it

[douride2]

I have never heard this phrase before.

[Andres77]

Continued dumming down of language.

[Massageman]

I haven't even gotten used to "oh, snap".

[Tunasub]

I can't say that I have

[Wiredone]

I never new the phrase existed

[SmokinAces2000]

Yeah and me and my friends use the phrase

[Tamera952]

No that's RETARDED

[SpiderManFan2002]

Yes I have lol

[NathanDavis]

[Joker_]

This question slaps

[shadowlunitic03]

All the time.
