Word for understood in slang - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

1. A shorthand acknowledgment that the speaker is aware of the preceding statement in a conversation, and has discerned the meaning of the statement.

Usually, this is an emotionally neutral phrase.

Usually used in writing, such as email, and may be followed by a period («Understood.») depending on personal preference.

Synonym of Noted, and is normally acceptable in Business English. A more formal equivalent of gotcha, which is normally not acceptable in Business English. Compare: affirmative, correct, OK, right.

2. A disingenuous acknowledgment of a preceding statement in a conversation. This secondary definition usually occurs when the speaker is obligated to reply to a statement contrary to the desires or expectations of the speaker, but would be reprimanded for an explicitly negative or contrary reply.

In short, a common way to implicitly disapprove of a statement by neither explicitly permitting it nor praising it.

This secondary definition is highly dependent on plausible deniability, and may be misunderstood by the recipient.

If the implication is understood, the recipient may take offense, as it displays disobedience on the part of the speaker.

1. «We need five shipments delivered by this time tomorrow.»

«Understood.»

2. «Due to recent corporate restructuring, you will now be solely responsible for managing incoming tickets. Therefore, we must ask you to be on call 24/7.»

«Understood.»

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they’re relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it’s at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: @krisk, @HubSpot, and @mongodb.

– Все норм, спс!

Такие переписки в телефоне и социальных сетях уже никого не удивят. Но сокращения в английском языке пошли еще дальше наших: аббревиатурой становятся целые предложения!

Пример: MYOB = mind your own business (занимайтесь своим делом)

Ниже ты найдешь целый список английских сокращений (в смс, социальных сетях, форумах). Досконально изучи его, чтобы понимать, чего от тебя хотят англоговорящие собеседники.

В качестве предисловия: разговорные сокращения в английском языке

Разумеется, сокращения английских слов желательно использовать только в неформальной переписке (личные сообщения, чаты). При этом известен случай, когда 13-летняя девочка написала школьное сочинение, почти целиком построенное на аббревиатурах английского языка. Вот отрывок из него, попробуй прочитать и понять смысл написанного:

My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :- kids FTF. ILNY, it’s a gr8 plc.

Получилось? А теперь прочитай “перевод”:

My summer hols (сокращенное – holidays) were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to NY (New York) to see my brother, his girlfriend and their 3 kids face to face. I love New York, it’s a great place.

Как видишь, английские сокращения на письме построены:

на использовании цифр (4,
на названиях букв (R = are, C = see)
на выбрасывании гласных (smmr = summer)
на акронимах – вид аббревиатуры, образованный начальными буквами (ILNY = I love New York).

Итак, переходим к нашему словарю английских сокращений.

Его Величество Сленг: расшифровка английских сокращений

В статье будет указан перевод сокращений с английского на русский. Но там, где потребуются дополнительные разъяснения, мы дадим и их. Enjoy!

Пример из стикеров для Viber

WR = were (форма глагола to be)

WUCIWUG = what you see is what you get (что видишь, то и получишь)

Выражение имеет несколько значений:

Свойство прикладных программ или веб-интерфейсов, в которых содержание отображается в процессе редактирования и выглядит максимально близко похожим на конечную продукцию (подробнее тут).
Определение, которое используется, когда говорящий хочет показать, что нет ничего скрытого, нет никаких секретов и подводных камней.

Может использоваться, как определение честного и открытого человека:

He is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of person. (Он относится к типу человека “что видишь, то и получишь”)

Также идиомой могут пользоваться, например, продавцы в магазине, когда уверяют нас, что товар, который мы купим, выглядит так же, как и на витрине:

The product you are looking at is exactly what you get if you buy it. What you see is what you get. The ones in the box are just like this one. (Если Вы купите этот продукт, то получите именно то, что видите сейчас. Единицы товара, которые в коробках, точно такие же, как эта).

X = kiss (поцелуй)

XLNT = excellent (отлично, превосходно)

XOXO = hugs and kisses (объятия и поцелуи). Точнее сказать “обнимашки и целовашки”, если следовать интернет-трендам 🙂

YR = your / you’re (твой / ты + форма глагола to be)

ZZZ.. = to sleep (спать) Сокращение используется, когда человек хочет показать собеседнику, что он уже вовсю спит / засыпает.

Напоследок: как понимать современные сокращения в английском языке

Как видишь, все английские сокращения в интернете поддаются определенной логике, принципы которой мы разобрали еще в начале статьи. Поэтому достаточно несколько раз “пробежаться по ним глазами”, и ты легко сможешь использовать и, главное – понимать их. CUL8R, M8 🙂

If you’re learning English, then you’ve got lots of things to master including phrasal verbs, idioms and of course, English slang words.

Native speakers use slang every day and that can make them hard to understand.

So, in this post, you’ll learn 79 common English slang words and expressions that will help you understand native speakers.

Understanding And Using English Slang Words

Slang words are informal words and expressions that native speakers use in their everyday conversations, especially among friends.

Some slang has entered the language thanks to the internet. Other slang terms are less fashionable these days, but you’ll still hear some people use them.

While it’s good to learn English slang words so you can understand native speakers or movies better, slang can be tricky to use. Some slang words are very informal or even offensive so you need to be careful when you use them.

Slang varies between countries and regions within countries. Often young people, especially teenagers use the latest slang and it might sound weird for an older person to use it.

Just be aware of these variations. And pay attention to the English slang words people you know use a lot. Copying what the English slang words they actually use will help you sound more authentic.

Let’s get started with ten of the most common English slang words. You’ll hear these English slang words all the time and you might even know some of them already.

1. Awesome

You’ll hear Americans, and plenty of other native speakers use this slang word all the time. It means “great” or “extremely good”.

Example: That movie was awesome – I’m going to go and see it again next week!

2. Bail

If you bail you stop doing something or leave a place or event before the end.

Example: There weren’t many people at the party so we bailed early.

3. Babe

This slang word refers to someone extremely attractive. But you can also use it to refer to your romantic partner, in the same way you would use “darling”.

Examples:

Wow, what a babe!
I love you babe – happy anniversary!

4. Cool

This word can have a similar meaning to “awesome” – very good, great. And it can also mean that something is fashionable and that other people admire it.

Examples:

What a cool car!
At school the cool kids ignored me.

5. Dude

You’ll hear “dude” all the time in American English – it means “man”.

Example: Who was that dude you were talking to last night?

6. Oh My God!

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before. You use it to emphasise how angry, shocked or surprised you are.

Example: Oh my God – what on earth happened here?

7. Pissed

In American English, “pissed” means “angry”, but in the UK it means drunk!

Examples:

He’s going to be pissed when he finds out you borrowed his new car.
What happened last night? I was so pissed I can’t remember anything!

8. Suck

If something sucks, then it’s bad.

Example: It sucks that you can’t come out with us tonight.

9. What’s Up?

This expression is the slang way to say “how are you?”. You’ll also see it spelled “wassup” or “whassup”.

Example: Hey what’s up dude? Long time no see!

10. You Bet

“You bet” is an informal way to say “you’re welcome” in US English.

Example:

A: Thanks for helping me with my homework.

B: You bet! Happy to help.

Slang To Do With Relationships

“Slack off” means pretty much the same thing as “goof off”. Both of these slang words are also phrasal verbs in English.

Slang Contractions

Finally, let’s take a look at some slang contractions. These are different to regular contractions in English such as “I’m” or “she’ll” because they’re so much more informal.

You wouldn’t write these contractions usually, unless in a really informal context like texting a close friend.

But they’ll help you improve your listening skills. That’s because these contractions are based on the way native speakers pronounce words you already know in a fast, informal way.

Example: Gimme a call later, after you finish work.

Example: My parents are gonna be so angry that I had a party while they were away.

74. Gotta

If you are one of those who are trying to learn the most common slang words in English and their meanings, this post is for you. Please continue reading.

What are the Common Slang Words in the English Language?

Slang refers to words in a person’s vocabulary that are not frequently found in dictionaries.

Many of these buzzwords have multiple definitions, but you must pay great attention to the context to effectively use them. This makes it a better idea to improve and practice.

English slang terminology with coworkers before using them with strangers. Knowing slang words and phrases has several advantages, including being able to use them in everyday situations and being able to connect with others on a more personal, intimate level since they provide an element of informality to our interactions.

Slang terms are an important part of the English language. Slang is full of odd sayings and colloquialisms that are useful in a wide range of casual circumstances.

Whether you are an experienced English speaker or a newbie, you may wish to brush up on your command of the most popular slang expressions used in everyday life!

You will not be able to learn the most common slang words and phrases in English with simply a manual. Picking up on social cues while listening to native speakers is the key to making these slang terms and phrases sound regular.

Listen to how these terms are utilized in music, cinema, and television to understand better. Do not be scared to copy what they are saying. Make these common slang phrases a part of your everyday speech.

Where Do Slang Words Come From?

Over time, language evolves and changes. New terms and new connotations for old words arise regularly. This occurs as people seek fresh and inventive methods to express themselves. People might use slang to be amusing, intelligent, unique, startling, friendly, or even covert.

The most common slang terms in English have emerged from three distinct sources during the last two decades. Popular music, politics, and the Internet are three examples.

Many slang phrases have emerged due to popular music, particularly rap and hip hop. Lyricists help by coming up with new and innovative ways to express oneself.

Politics has also spawned a slew of English’s most common slang words and phrases. This is partly because people appear to be divided on major subjects.

Words like ‘snowflake,’ ‘woke,’ and ‘triggered’ have taken on new meanings, for better or worse. This is frequently due to the constant fighting that occurs prior to, during, and after election cycles.

The Internet, on the other hand, the Internet is perhaps the most important generator of the most common slang words and phrases in English. That truth should come as no surprise in today’s technology world.

This can arise due to the changing nature of technology (‘selfie’, anyone?). Occasionally, it is a passing fad (‘Y.O.L.O.’ — “You only live once!”). More new slang words are created on the Internet than anywhere else.

The Internet, however, is not merely a source of new slang terms. It also makes it easier for those words to get into our heads and affect our language faster.

In several weeks, if not days, the Internet and social media can help a new slang word emerge and spread worldwide.

Why Do People Use Slang Words?

Slang is rarely used to exchange information. More frequently than not, slang is used for social purposes: to identify group members, shift the tone of the conversation toward informality, and challenge established authority.

Sharing and sustaining a continually evolving slang vocabulary promotes group cohesion and allows members to be included and excluded.

Slang is the equivalent language of fashion, and it has a similar function.

Effective slang, like fashionable apparel and forms of popular entertainment, must be novel, engaging, and able to win approval in a group swiftly. Using archaic vocabulary is the most detrimental thing you can do to your group’s status.

A familiar lexicon unknown outside the group is often found to be a beneficial approach for counterculture or anti-establishment groups to keep information secret or enigmatic.

Slang is often developed by persons in society who have little real political power (such as adolescents, college students, and military enlisted soldiers) or who have the motivation to disguise what they know or do from those in positions of authority.

What Effect Does Slang Have on Society?

Without question, slang is crucial because it allows you to communicate with individuals around you while emphasizing your communication.

We use slang to establish our identities as members of groups, which is one of the main reasons.

We regard someone who uses the same type of slang as us as a member of our in-group, whereas others who do not grasp the slang phrases are considered out-group members.

Slang has always had and will continue to have a beneficial and detrimental impact on society.

New slang emerges as society evolves and changes, while old slang fades away. However, this will make it more difficult for individuals to distinguish between when to use slang and when not to use them.

Millennials have moved away from texting language and now use memes and emojis to communicate with others.

Furthermore, teenagers are the ones who generate the majority of slang. This also acts as a means of further separating them from their parent’s generation, making slang words and phrases all the more interesting.

Difference Between British and American Slang Words/Phrases

Right today, there are 1.5 billion English speakers on the planet. It is not surprising that the English language has 160 different regional variations.

Each has its own set of spellings, pronunciations, and slang.

The following section focuses on the difference between the most common slang words and phrases in British English and American English.

Using American Slang Words and Phrases

As you read through this list, remember that American slang varies depending on where you are in the country. Certain slang words, for example, are more widely used in rural areas than in urban areas.

Remember that slang words are intended for casual conversation and should not be used in a formal setting.

Also, do not expect these English slang terms to be accepted in England. While there are a few expressions that are shared by both countries, each has its own set of English slang.

Is it Appropriate to Use Slang Words in Academic Writing?

A good writer’s goal should be to explain ideas clearly; each paragraph should be easily understandable.

This implies that you must disregard the specific grammatical form, language, and, in general, the relationship between thoughts and expression forms.

Believe it or not, the respective stated thoughts may lose courage and strength due to inadequate language expression.

Therefore, if your writing is full of slang, it may contain specific ideas that are contradictory to others, and therefore, the outcome will be poor. It is essential always to be cautious.

Slang should never be used and should be avoided at all costs.

It is common to see academic writings with daily language or slang in today’s world. It is important to remember that technical language is formal and follows certain norms.

What you say in a conversation or in colloquial language may sound excellent, but it may sometimes be improper when written.

When you write, you should be mindful that your work will be read by others other than your teacher.

They could be from various countries, educational backgrounds, and so on.

Hence, you should be cautious in incorporating slang words and phrases so that everyone will understand your message.
