A term most prevalent during the 1980's and 1990's that is a colloquialism simply meaning "I acknowledge your statement as true or meaningful". Commonly followed by "brother".
Now, it is often used ironically by children on the internet to mock those who are older than them, even though they themselves have no idea what aforementioned seniors are talking about.

1.) (In 1980, in response to a friend's comment on a woman's ass) "Word, brother."
2.) Some cringy-ass freshman: *throws up double peace signs* "Word, mah brotha!" *Laughs like an autistic hyena with his equally cringy friends*
