1. A suggestive gossip phrase used whilst talking shit - commonly used with hearsay, rather than facts.

2. A phrase used by bros to pass the time whilst boofing premixed drinks.
Bro 1: "yo bruh, have you seen Stacy lately? She puked on my flip flops, and they still smell." *Gets ready to boof spritzer*
Bro 2: "Naah bruh, but word was she's out in L.A doing her unicycle thing."
Bro 1: "Co..Coo...Cooool." *boofs spritzer*

WOW, that word was too long, buddy
(Inspired from "this_is_a_very_long_phrase_that_hopefully_is_not_in_any_dictionary" from Minecraft Java Edition 20w14∞ easter egg sections)
This was a long word that hopefully wasn't defined by someone in Urban Dictionary yet so don't define it too because I'm the first to define this long word from this_is_a_very_long_phrase_that_hopefully_is_not_in_any_dictionary

Word-wash

Share definition
The act of using terms, especially, but not limited to, ones that are more unfamiliar and “intellectual” sounding, in order to give a stance more clout, and make an opposing stance feel less valid. It often times makes the user of the term feel superior, and “objectively” correct.

This is usually seen when person A is trying to make an opposing argument against person B, and they try to solidify their stance as the one true stance by ending their argument with something like, “what you’re talking about is called insert word-washing term, and it’s actually a insert descriptive term fallacy.
Don’t generalize the way that I think about this situation with some 10 dollar word. It’s far more complicated than that. You’re just trying to word-wash me.
