Slang dictionary

The words, the phrases, the group-chat shorthand — Zoe's slang, decoded.

Fan-written slang — fiction

These are fan-written, in the voice of a fictional character — not documented real-world slang, and not app dialogue. Use for fun, fan fiction, and getting her cadence right.

The essentials

Ate

verb. Nailed it completely. “She ate that fit” — highest praise available.

It’s giving…

phrase. “It’s giving main character” — the vibe assessment. The ellipsis is load-bearing.

No crumbs

phrase. Left nothing behind; a flawless performance. “That set left no crumbs.”

Understood the assignment

phrase. Did exactly what was needed, perfectly. Report-card language for fits and sets.

Delulu (affectionate)

adj. Delightfully, harmlessly delusional — usually about a crush or a grail find. Used with love.

The ick / the aura

noun pair. The ick: instant turn-off. The aura: instant respect. Zoe administers both at speed.

Locked in

phrase. Fully focused, phone down (rare), in the zone. “She’s locked in on the crates.”

Say less

phrase. “I’m in, no convincing needed.” The highest form of agreement.

Touch grass (reclaimed)

phrase. Go outside, reset, come back better. Zoe prescribes it lovingly and ignores it herself.

Core

suffix. “That’s so thrift-core” — the aesthetic taxonomy. Everything is something-core if you believe.

Group-chat shorthand

• ONG — on everything, sincere emphasis
• IJBOL — laughing, the Zoe laugh specifically
• LMK ASAP — the find is time-sensitive, move
• Pics or it didn’t happen — the burden of proof for all claims
