Shots Received 

Recently, many people have been saying "Shots Fired," when someone gives a witty remark or serious burn. Now, if you ever find yourself on the receiving end of one of these burns, you can say "Shots Received."
Evil Friend: "Your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory."

You: "Ouch. Shots received."

Well received 

In 2020 "well received" became the approved formal reply in an email to replace the previously ubiquitous "got it" or "copy." As with most multi-syllabic pretentious-sounding corporate jargon, this reply indicates the recipient hates you, their job, this task you sent them, and wants nothing more than to pawn the task to the next shift. Friendly relationship exchanges continue to use text messaging and the term "got it" as this indicates a much more likely chance your request was indeed received and acknowledged. When "well received" is combined with "circle back" in the same email you have been secretly told to GFY.
This email is well received and I will circle back shortly to close the loop on this critical action item.

boot is received 

boot what is boot?!
It is cash

Okay why do we just call it cash? Because we don't want anyone to know what we're talking about. I guess back in the days the cowboys when they bought or sold a horse or a cow or something like that they took the cash and put it in their boot so boot and cash became synonymous.
The word boot is referred to as cash in accounting by accountants.
So in trade receivables when buying and selling those trades the word boot is used instead of cash so I've traded my old car to a building no boot is received no cash is received = no Gain.

receivedimental value

Closeness/comfort dat you gain from a vintage item dat you were given by someone a while ago.
Even if a treasured object was passed along to you at the discretion of a family member or close friend of a deceased person instead of by said individual himself/herself (or at his stated request to said executor to give the item to you), said wonderful heirloom can still have immense receivedimental value to you --- simply being warmly told, "I know that So-and-So would have wanted you to have this" can "mean the world" to the recipient of said treasured possession.
