"Word" is Biblical in origin. Young American white hipsters stole this term in the mid 2000's from black American youth who had been using it since the mid nineties. Most people don't know what it means, thinking it means awesome or radical. The originators of the term had been raised in Protestant Churches and it was actually a secret code word to recognize like minded brothers and sisters in the street, where out of necessity profundity was disguised as profanity. However this term was used occasionally by Dr.Cornell West as early as the 1970's. It is a less prentious way of kissing ass with a namaste while acknowledging the divinity in another, as well as ending a conversation. It literally means ultimate or transcendant.

Definition 1:
To agree.
"Word" comes from the english saying "my word" which in turn comes from "I give you my word". Meaning that a statement is right and you would be willing to put your honor on the line to back it up.
Definition 2:
To question.
Once again, this comes from "my word". When one says "word" as if asking a question, he or she is asking if the person that made the statement would swear to it.

When you've been saying a word for a really long time, and it starts to sounds like it isn't a word. that's a not word. It's especially bad when you're trying to write out a word or phrase that you've only ever said out loud.

Bobby: OMG i've turned real into a not word
