The Meaning Behind Popular Twitter Slang

The internet is a magical place but it can be confusing if you are to be of the un-pigmented variety and happen venture into the ever-evolving land of Black Twitter. Hell, you may actually find yourself among the “WTF” crowd even if you’re a Black Twitter regular.

But fear not. Whichever category you fall into, we’ve got you covered with a breakdown of some popular homemade terms frequently used on the internet and most likely to end up in the ever popular urban dictionary at some point in this life time.

So, relax your mind, let your conscience be free….and take a look. Oh and let us know if we missed anything in the comments section below…

NTTAWWT” = Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That

This term is most often used when commenting on sensitive subject matter & wanting to make it clear that you’re not trying to be offensive.  Example: EJ Johnson is king of the moobies & murses movement. #NTTAWWT.

“Laid” – Used to describe hair that is done very well.

This term will almost always be included a sentence that seems to make little or no sense whatsoever. Example: Yaaaasss, hunny, Miguel’s jacket hair was LAID like whaaaaaaa at the BET Awards!!”


“To the gods” – …………..

If something is done “to the gods,” you can also assume that it was done very well. Don’t try to figure it out any further, because you won’t. Example: “Her brows were SNATCHED TO THE GODS!!” (Still confused? Yeah, us too.)
