I made this in Canva thanks.

The eleventh word is “ Lit” I have been told that it means “Overly excited and popping stylish.”

So, the eleventh word is “Lit” I was told it meant “Overly excited and popping stylish”. I remember back in my day we used to say “Legit”. When someone did something exciting we would say the phrase “That was Legit!” Now it is simply “Lit” amazing how words can be shortened and still almost have the same meaning!

I also did some personal research and found a whole section on dictionary.com on some history of the phrase, Lit, if you have time why don’t you check it out? Direct link below:

Did you know this word was first found in 1895 to 1900 by then this word meant “intoxicated”
