7 slang terms grouped by this meaning, ranked by popularity.
To throw something with great force and very little care for where it lands. Also an exclamation ("YEET!") — triumphant, absurd, or both at once. Peaked in 2014 Vine popularity, is now fully lodged in the mainstream English vocabulary despite most users flinching at their own use of it.
British tag question: "isn't it?" Also a filler word, a whole sentence, and a mood. Spelled "innit" because that's how it sounds at the end of "yeah that was mental innit" — which has no punctuation in real life.
Australian / British: "think" or "believe." "What do you reckon?" is the Aussie equivalent of "what do you think?" Used as an answer-opener: "I reckon we leave by nine." Conveys relaxed confidence — never hedges, never pretends to expertise you don't have.
Philadelphia-originated catch-all noun — can mean a person, place, thing, or idea. "Pass me that jawn" works for literally anything. Derived from "joint" (NY slang), evolved in Philly into a universal placeholder. Outsiders find it amazing; Philadelphians use it 30 times a day without thinking.
To return to a previous location or state; to come back to.
To proceed with some plan or course of action, or develop some train of thought towards its conclusion (whether this is advantageous, or comical, or digging into a hole).
