Type four words that you use in a way that is different from their "proper" or standard meaning. these are probably words that you use in talking to your peers (like "cool"). do not include words which are generally considered inappropriate for public use. type the meaning of each word as you use it, then type the standard meaning of the word, such as you might find in a dictionary.

I'm not looking up standard meaning but here are some examples:

"What's up?"- used to ask someone what they are doing or what they're feeling if they seem down.

"Bro"- used to refer to a friend. Shortened form of "brother"

"Dude"- again, used to refer to a friend. Typically gender neutral and does not always refer to a male

"Hang"- (ex. "Wanna hang?") used to ask someone to spend time with you

Answer from: rafeychoudhry4571

neat

sweet

ridiculous

hot

Explanation:

The four words above are frequently used by people in informal situations with meanings that differ from their "proper" or standard ones. First, let's take a look at their original, literal definitions:

1. neat - tidy, organized; efficient.

2. sweet - sugary; sugary food; pleasant, delightful.

3. ridiculous - laughable, comical; absurd.

4. hot - very warm; spicy.

In everyday informal conversations, those words take on different connotations. Sweet and neat can be used as compliments to things and people who are considered cool, nice, interesting. For instance:

- Man, that ride is neat!

- You got a bonus! Sweet!

Ridiculous can also assume a better connotation than the original. It can refer to something being greater, better than expected:

- He made a ridiculous amount of money at that job.

Finally, hot can be used to describe something or someone that is quite famous/popular:

- You haven't heard this song yet? But this band is hot! Everyone knows them!
