A lit check is a quick assessment of whether something — a party, a playlist, a vibe, a situation — is actually as good as advertised or currently delivering the energy it promised. It's a practical audit of litness in real time. Used before committing to going somewhere ('run a lit check on that venue before we Uber over') or as a live report from the field ('lit check: this party is not it, leave now'). The '-check' suffix frames it as an official, shareable verdict rather than just an opinion, giving it social weight in group decision-making.
Lit check on tonight: the music is mid, the crowd is thin, but the drinks are cheap — borderline.
