Below are the 17 phrases in order, accompanied by their respective definitions.
1. Bail – to leave a place. (Bail also means the temporary release of someone awaiting trial for a crime.) For example, if you’re at a friend’s house and you want to go home, you can say, “Hey man, I’m tired. I’m gonna bail.”
2. Bomb(ie) – you can say something is bomb when you really like it. When a girl is very attractive, you might call her a bombie. For example, “Angelina Jolie is so bomb,” or “Angelina Jolie is such a bombie.”
3. Bum – to borrow/have. For example, if you order food that costs $8.25 you can ask your friend to bum a quarter.
4. Butthurt – when someone gets upset over a small thing. You use this to emphasize how easily someone got upset about something so small. For example, Joe got butthurt when Cami didn’t answer her phone.
5. To call (someone) out – to say someone is wrong. For example, I decided to wait until after the speech before calling him out on his mistake.
6. Claimin‘ it – what you say when someone is bragging. For example, if someone’s talking about how cool they are because they can do a backflip on a snowboard, you can say while rolling your eyes, “Claimin’ it,” or “he claims so hard.”

8. Cruise – another way to say “come” or “leave.” For example, “Hey man, you wanna cruise over to my place after work?” Or, “Hey man, it’s getting late. I’m gonna cruise.”
9. Dank – another way to say something is good. This originated from marijuana, but is commonly used for other things as well. For example, “This food is dank, I could eat it every day.”

14. Post up – to stand around (often leaning against a wall) without doing much. You can use this when telling some to wait for you, “Just post up here, I’ll be right back,” or if you’re in the club, “hey let’s post up by the bar.” This is a little bit like hang out.
15. Put (someone) on blast – to make fun of someone in front of other people. If someone is making fun of your new haircut at a party in front of other people, you could say, “Yo dude, why’re you putting me on blast?”
