Everything's bigger in Texas, including the slang. Southern charm meets cowboy swagger, "fixin' to," "y'all," and "bless your heart" are survival vocabulary down here.

Type shi
Type shi is a super loose tag you toss at the end of a sentence when you mean that kind of vibe, that sort of stuff, all that. It doesn't carry much literal weight on its own. It's more there to keep the line sounding casual, knowing, and a bit internet-seasoned. You hear it when someone's listing plans, habits, moods, or whatever else fits the lane.
Standing on business
Means sticking to what you said and moving with real conviction, whether that's backing your words, holding your boundaries, or staying serious about a choice. It got big through rap and internet chat, and it has that chest out energy of someone who is not folding under pressure. If they said it, they mean it.
Caught lacking
Getting caught lacking means being caught off guard, unprepared or slipping when you should have been ready. It started as street talk for being caught without backup or a way to defend yourself, but online it has softened into any embarrassing moment where you weren't switched on, like answering a question you clearly hadn't revised for.
Bet
Bet is a quick yes that means alright, say less, I’m with it, or I heard you. People use it to agree to plans, accept a challenge, or stamp that they understood. It comes out of AAVE, and the vibe depends on how you say it. Calm bet means confirmed. Sharper bet can mean alright then, show me.
Salty
If someone's salty, they're not just annoyed for a second. They're sitting in that sour little mood, feeling bitter, pressed, or low-key offended because things didn't go their way. You use it when someone's dragging out a tiny loss, a joke, or a setback instead of letting it breathe and die.
