A term used by roadmen and wannabe roadmen alike to ask "whats going on?". First used in the Caribbean probably in the 90s, and has made its way over to England. If someone is not from either London, Jamaica, or Cuba, and they use wagwan, they likely watch top boy and or listen to grime music from the 2000s. Make no mistake, this work is acceptable among social interactions with your boys but in any formal interaction, using this word to greet someone is suicide. To use this word you must also wear a man bag that probably carries your splif and a nike tracksuit.

1. noun. It is the sudden feeling of an inexplicable joy one gets when something romantic or idealistic occurs.

When kilig, one may experience the following:

*butterflies in one's stomach
*heart melting
*shivers down one's spine
*irrepressible noises from one's mouth
*uncontrollable smiling
*an inner conflict between hope of something wished for and reality

Kilig may also be defined as that mountain top, floating, on cloud nine, invincible, i-could-keep-smiling, heart aching goodness and feeling which overpowers the mind's ability to think straight, act straight, breathe properly and articulate thoughts into a single comprehensible sentence.
