A fun and popular way to say "or not" usually said by tweens and teens.

It is always found at the end of a question and is usually preceded by a clicky noise made with the tongue.

When said, the facial expression usually contains wide eyes and a mouth open wide vertically instead of horizontally thus making it funny. This is the opposite of how ones face normally would look when asking a regular question. Example: tight lips and partly closed eyelids.

"Or nah", a phrase believed to originate from a song in the genre of hip hop. Typically, the phrase soon became popular among derivative teens to introduce a yes or no question into conversation. Despite the fact that it's a popular phrase, it's illiterate, hackneyed, and most certainly dull.
"Should I call in sick today or nah?"

"Is this a cute outfit or nah?"

"Should I dumb Kelsey, or nah?"
