Period / Periodt
Declining⏳OutdatedDefinition
An emphatic way to end a statement, indicating that what was said is final and not up for debate. 'Periodt' with a T is the extra-emphasized version. From AAVE and drag culture.
Translation for Parents
It's just an exclamation point made verbal. 'She's the best player on the team, period.' means 'and there's nothing more to discuss.' The extra T in 'periodt' adds even more emphasis. It's basically a mic drop in word form.
Examples
“She's the prettiest girl in school periodt”
“She's the prettiest girl in school, and that's final”
“We're not going and that's on period”
“We're not going, end of discussion”
Cringe Score
Your kid will cringe
This peaked when your Millennial coworker started using it in Slack. It's still used but the 'periodt' spelling is entering its museum era.
