A combination of the popular terms, “oh”, and “word”, oh word is one of the most modern, intricate and useful slang terms today.
Let’s break this down: “oh” is a phrase used to verbally react at something. Oh is often used in “bruh Moment” situations.
Ex: friend: hey I think I fucked your mom
you: oh
Now onto “word”. Word is a slang term that derived from the phrase, “is that the word?”, which is a popular Philly term originally used by inmates. The phrase was used to lightly question the legitimacy of what a persons saying. The phrase eventually dwindled down to just “word” and is often used in similar contexts as “facts”. “word” and “facts” are used to convey understanding and/or agreement in what the other person is saying.
Ex: friend: bro I got a new job, 100K salary
Other friend: word
So when you put “oh” and “word” together, you have a phrase that displays a bruh moment while mutually demonstrating agreement and/or understanding in reaction to a conversation or situation.
Ex: you: Hey Dad I’m a homosexual
your dad: oh word, pack your shit and get out of the house
In conclusion, “oh word” is a phrase that everybody can use to demonstrate agreement and/or understanding with just about any moment.
