Another way to say “drugs”

A quick assessment of how drunk or wrecked someone is, often called out by mates before deciding whether to get more drinks or call it a night. Used humorously to gauge the group's collective level of intoxication.

A quick verification that someone or something is performing at their best and hasn't slipped; a spot-check for excellence. Also used as a call-and-response to confirm that everything is going smoothly or that someone is locked in.

Describes someone or something that has a naturally trippy, chaotic, or reality-bending quality without necessarily involving drugs. Vibes that are kaleidoscopic, unpredictable, or just slightly off in an interesting way.

Leaning all the way into chaotic, surreal, or psychedelic energy across your personality, aesthetic, or content — maxing out the trippy factor on purpose. Not necessarily drug-related; more about committing fully to a mind-bending vibe.

When someone's behavior is chaotic, sharply critical, or weirdly unfiltered — as if their brain is running on a different frequency. Can describe a person, a conversation, or a creative session that got unexpectedly unhinged.

A vibe that's sharp, chaotic, and slightly unhinged — like someone who's running on a completely different wavelength. Can apply to a person's presence, a social dynamic, or a piece of art that feels unpredictably intense and a little hard to look away from.

Agequeer mode is when someone fully stops operating according to society's timeline and just lives entirely on their own internal clock — no panic about milestones, no apologies for being 'too old' or 'too young' for something, no mental math about where they should be by now. In agequeer mode, age is genuinely irrelevant to identity, choices, and self-perception. You might be pursuing something 'people your age' supposedly abandoned, or refusing something 'expected' of you, with zero internal friction about it. It's freedom from the calendar, fully activated.

Aggravator-coded describes a person, vibe, or action that telegraphs maximum irritant energy — even if no explicit drama has kicked off yet. The -coded suffix signals that something reads as inherently aggravator in its DNA: a passive-aggressive comment, a pointed Instagram story, a reply that technically answers the question while managing to make everything worse. You don't have to catch someone actively aggravating to call them aggravator-coded; the potential is written all over their behaviour and everyone in the room knows it.

When something — a person, an aesthetic, a place, a fictional character — has adorabubble deeply embedded into its core identity. Adorabubble-coded isn't just occasionally cute; it's constitutionally, structurally sweet. The warm lighting, the round shapes, the gentle voice, the soft colors — it all adds up to something that couldn't be anything other than irresistibly precious. Some things are just built different in the most wholesome way.

A quick audit of whether someone is actually putting in effort or just talking. An action check cuts through all the plans, promises, and big energy to ask the real question: what have you actually done? Usually deployed as a reality check on someone who speaks in future tense constantly — always about to make a move, always one step away from doing something — but somehow the timeline never arrives. Action checks expose the gap between personality and follow-through with surgical efficiency.

An outfit or styling choice that was clearly aiming for something elevated but landed somewhere painfully, visibly wrong — a drip attempt that misfired in a way everyone in the room clocked simultaneously. An adrip fail isn't just a bad outfit; it's a bad outfit that tried. The ambition makes the miss more spectacular. It could be a colour combination that should have stayed in the drafts, accessories that are fighting each other, or an outfit that works on the mannequin and absolutely nowhere else. Chronicled gleefully online, the adrip fail is fashion humility in its purest, most public form.

A call to verify whether something genuinely qualifies as petmalu — truly impressive, extraordinary, or mind-blowing — rather than just ordinary or overhyped. Filipino internet culture runs frequent informal petmalu checks on viral content, people claiming to be elite, or things marketed as once-in-a-lifetime. If something passes the petmalu check, the hype is validated. If it fails, the consensus becomes: 'di naman.' Used in comments sections, group chats, and reaction posts across Filipino social media.

A casual call-out or moment of verification when someone suspects they're dealing with the 'acoustic' (unironic, cringe-unaware) version of something — a person, a take, or a situation. Doing an acoustic check means briefly examining whether what you're seeing is genuinely earnest or just performance. It's the cultural equivalent of sniffing the milk: you have a feeling something is off, you check, and you decide accordingly. Common in music and pop culture commentary when gatekeeping sincerity.

When someone or something is fundamentally, DNA-level earnest and oblivious to irony — like sincerity is just hardwired into their operating system. Acoustic coded people don't do detachment or smirking distance; they mean things and they show it. It's not exactly an insult, but it is a type: they're the ones who get genuinely excited at trivia night, cry at commercials, and still use exclamation marks in texts without a hint of irony. Endearing to some, exhausting to others.

Something is cap coded when it radiates dishonesty from the jump — every detail feels manufactured, every claim sounds rehearsed, and your instincts are screaming that none of this adds up. Cap coded isn't about proving someone is lying; it's about recognizing the energy of untruth before the receipts even surface. A story can be cap coded. A person can be cap coded. An entire press release can be cap coded. It's the slang equivalent of your gut telling you something is off before your brain catches up.
