"Peak. In a stricter sense, it is a word to refer to something at the peak of its domain, the best of the best, but more current usage means that people mainly use it just to say that something is really, really unfortunate. Dude, did you see that new movie that came out, Project Hail Mary? Oh my god, yes, that shit was so peak!"
