PFP
Stable🎒High SchoolDefinition
Profile picture. Your avatar or photo on social media. Changing your PFP is a statement. Having a matching PFP with someone means you're close (or dating).
Translation for Parents
PFP means 'profile picture,' the photo that shows up on their social media accounts. If your kid says 'nice pfp' they're complimenting someone's profile photo. If they say two people have 'matching pfps,' those two are very close friends or in a relationship. It's like wearing matching friendship bracelets but digital.
Examples
“Your pfp is fire”
“Your profile picture looks great”
“They have matching pfps so you know it's serious”
“They have matching profile pictures, which means they're definitely dating”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
You probably call it an 'avatar' or 'profile photo.' Saying 'pfp' will mark you as someone who spends time on the right corners of the internet. Mildly cool if used correctly.
