(slang) Sexually attractive.
He thought the very pretty lady he had invited along, of course, was really quite bangable, and he was definitely going to be banging her over the next month.
Bangable means: Sexually attractive.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. It carries sexual or vulgar connotations; not alarming on its own but worth understanding the context your teen heard it in. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
bangable means: Sexually attractive.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons.

The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

A crude informal noun for the degree to which someone is considered sexually attractive and desirable for casual sex. The term is deliberately crass and treats physical attraction as a measurable commodity. Used in conversations about appearance when the speaker wants to be unambiguously vulgar in their assessment. Closely related to fuckability in register and intent, with bang as the base verb.
