Bet
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
An affirmation meaning 'okay,' 'sounds good,' 'I agree,' or 'you're on.' Can also express confidence. Originally from African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
Translation for Parents
It just means 'okay' or 'deal.' If you text your kid 'dinner at 6' and they reply 'bet,' that means they'll be there. It's the most efficient agreement in the English language.
Examples
“Wanna get food after school? Bet.”
“Want to get food after school? Sure, sounds good.”
“You think you can beat me? Bet.”
“You think you can beat me? Challenge accepted.”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
This is one of the safest slang words for parents. It's short, efficient, and you can text it to your kid without them cringing. Low stakes, high reward.
