So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. Being "woke" means to be socially conscious and aware of racial injustices.The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. Has nothing to do with sleep - in the literal sense. When someone thinks something is funny, hilarious or entertaining, they might say "I'm weak." "Thirsty" is used to describe desperation.ĭoes not pertain to physical strength. No, no it doesn't mean someone is parched. If you're "spilling tea" or "having tea," that means you have some gossip you're about to share. If you're "sipping your tea," it means that you're minding your own business - basically side-eyeing the situation and keeping it moving. There are multiple ways to have your tea. "Sis" can also be used as a term of endearment toward friends or anyone really.Ī stan is a fan. If someone asks you what happened and you respond with "Sis," it means there's a whole lot of drama that unfolded and there's a whole lot more to the story. Shade is usually thrown, meaning you'll most commonly hear it in a sentence like "He threw shade," but it can also be used like "Why are you so shady?" To throw shade means to make an underhanded critical remark toward someone. If whatever you said is defined as out of pocket, it means that your statement or comment was out of control. To be out of pocket or to say something that's out of pocket means that something is disorderly. If someone asks you if you've heard about Colin Kaepernick being blackballed by the NFL, and you say "I'm hip," that means you know. When you're hip to the Cardi B and Offset drama, that means you understand what's going on. To be hip to something means you know something. Rather, "GOAT" is an acronym for Greatest of All Time.


So to get a bag or even secure a bag means that you are acquiring money. The word was made popular by Yung Miami of City Girls, and the difference between flown and flewed is that the latter applies to "bad" (read attractive) people .Ī bag refers to money. You'll most likely hear this when someone is bragging about getting "flewed out." It means that someone got flown out (hopefully on an aircraft of some kind) to a place. "Fam" is used to describe people in your life who you're close with: your good friends, your ride or dies, your homies. Technically shortened from the word "family," but it's not used to describe your mom, dad or sister. It's not used as a cautionary "watch out, don't trip." "Don't trip" means don't worry or don't stress about something. If someone makes plans and you say "bet," that means you are confirming said plan. "Bet" is used when you're in agreement with something.
