Slaps
Teen slang, explained for parents.
What it means
Used for something, usually music or food, that is excellent. "This song slaps." "These tacos slap." High praise delivered casually. Mostly used for sensory experiences that hit unexpectedly well.
How to bring it up with your kid
No concern. Try it once: "This dinner slaps." Brace for the smile they will try to hide. That is the whole point.
