New York talk is fast, loud, and takes no prisoners. From "deadass" to "mad" meaning "very," NYC slang is pure attitude packed into the shortest possible sentence. Fuggedaboutit.

Girl, bye
Janna · United States
"Girl, bye. It's more of, you know, like a dismissive reaction, like, you know, bye. Like, you know, like, get out of here, but in, like, a low-key way. An example would be, What? What do you mean he doesn't want to pay on the first date? Girl, bye."
Caught lacking
Janna · United States
"Caught lacking is basically when you get caught doing something that you didn't really expect. I mean, that you didn't really expect to be caught doing, or that you were unprepared for something. Maybe you were just caught lacking. An example would be, Bro, did you just pick your nose? You were caught lacking."
D1
Hugues Renaud · United States
"D1. Taken from the sports term D1 athlete or Division I athlete. It is added in front of a noun to say that someone is at the peak epitome of that noun. Dude, Charles is fucking hating on Pragmata. What, the game just came out. What do you mean he's already hating on it? Man, I don't know. Charles hates fucking everything. Dude's a D1 hater."
