"type shi. it's basically just a filler phrase usually used at the end of a sentence. basically means like oh like this type of thing, this kind of thing, whatnot. an example would be oh my god what are you gonna do tomorrow? oh i'm just gonna be you know chilling, watching movies, eating popcorn, type shi."
What it means
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.
Usage examples
"We are just kicking back tonight, watching dumb movies, raiding the snacks, type shit, nothing ambitious and honestly that feels correct."
"I'm just tryna stack some money, stay out the mix, hit the gym, type shi."
"We pulled up, grabbed food, sat in the car talkin' for an hour, type shi."

Where it comes from
It comes from a clipped version of type of shit, a long-running casual phrase in Black American speech that meant something like that kind of thing. Online and text-heavy slang shaved it down to type shi, keeping the same loose filler energy while making it feel quicker, lighter, and more playful on the tongue.
