Visibly stunned or rattled — by surprise, unexpected news, or someone else's audacity. Usually paired with a physical reaction: wide eyes, hand over mouth, long pause before the reply comes.
"When she walked in wearing the same dress I was shook."

'Shook' means shocked, stunned or shaken up. 'I was shook' = 'I was stunned'. Originally African-American Vernacular English (used in 1990s hip-hop to mean scared or rattled), mainstreamed via internet culture in the 2010s. If your teen says they're shook, they are reacting strongly to something — could be good or bad news. Harmless conversational vocabulary.
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.
