*In urban slang, this is a very complex & versatile word. It’s intended meaning will depend highly on context in which it’s used. (At times, may be unclear.)
**May potentially be used as a noun, verb, or adjective.

2.) Noun or Verb. Used as a response of indifference. As if to say ‘nothing’ or ‘nothing important.’
3.) Used as a proclamation of emotion. May be positive or negative, indicated by context & infection of voice.
**This is only an example of some of the ways this word has been adapted to mean many many things, and most likely has many other entries/examples that could also be included.
