    Oh my God one day I walked out of my room and my high school kid looked at me and said:

    “That fit shreds”

    And it was the first time I had been honestly perplexed by slang, had absolutely no idea what they were trying to convey. Turns out they liked my clothes that day.

      TIL I hang out with just enough youngins to read this and be like “they like your outfit.” It’s gotta be the early 20s kids at work that I’ve caught onto what they’re saying lol.

      “That fit shreds” = that’s an awesome outfit

      Synonyms for Fit: outfit, drip, gear, cloth(es), getup

      Synonyms for shreds: killer, swag, gnarly, rad, sick, dank, cool, fire (🔥),

      Your drip is fire

      Your outfit is cool

      Your gear is rad

      Your clothes are sick

      Your getup is dank

      Your cloth is killer

      All pretty equivalent statements which you may relate to more based on era of terminology you grew up with.
