Past-tense of bed rot / brain rot. "I rotted all weekend" = I did nothing, happily. The tone is neutral-to-proud — rotting is now a recognized recovery activity, not laziness.

Rotted means brain-rotted: someone who has consumed so much internet content their thinking is warped. Often self-deprecating: "I'm so rotted I laugh at any TikTok." Mildly concerning only if your teen actually feels low about their screen time. Common Gen Z self-roast. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. 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.
