Fire
Stable🌍Universal#compliment#enduring#mainstream
Definition
Excellent, amazing, hot, cool. One of the more enduring slang terms. Often represented by the fire emoji. Has been in use since the mid-2010s and refuses to die.
Translation for Parents
It means 'really good.' That's it. This one's been around long enough that you might already know it. If your kid's playlist is 'fire,' that means it's good. If your mixtape is 'fire,' you're living in 2016.
Examples

English:
“This song is really good”
Brainrot:
“Your new kicks are fire bro”
English:
“Your new shoes look great”

Safe to use
So mainstream that it's almost not slang anymore. Your boss says this. Your mom says this. It's basically a regular word now.
