Having a narrow waist.
Snatched in current slang means looking incredibly good, especially an outfit or look. From ballroom and Black queer culture. Not concerning, just positive descriptor. 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. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Snatched is informal slang meaning looking incredibly good, especially with reference to a sharp outfit, well-defined face, or trim figure. Use in casual contexts. Formal equivalent: "looking exceptional," "polished." Common non-native mistake: confusing with the standard sense (to grab quickly). In slang the meaning is exclusively visual: looking flawless. Often: "her waist is snatched." Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
