(euphemism, transitive) To have sex with.

For parents

"be with" is sexual slang. In short, it refers to to have sex with. Among teens it is usually used jokingly, as crude banter, or in TikTok-style algospeak rather than as a serious statement of behaviour. Persistent or aggressive use directed at a specific person, especially online, is the bit worth paying attention to: that can shade into harassment. If you hear it once in a chat with friends, it is probably nothing. Repeated targeted use deserves a conversation about respect.

For ESL learners

"be with" is informal English meaning to have sex with. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "to have sex with" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "be with" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.
