What does “yab” mean?
yab
Oh, that's a fun one —
So "yab" basically means to insult or make fun of someone. It can be light and playful, like joking around with friends, or it can get pretty mean and aggressive — kind of depends on the situation.
Honestly, I didn't know this word before, but someone told me about it and I looked at how people were actually using it. From what I could see, people use it when they're roasting each other online or in group chats. One person even said they used to sit around as kids and "yab" each other just to pass time — which honestly sounds like every friend group ever, right? 😄
So yeah, it can be harmless banter OR a real insult — the vibe just depends on how far someone takes it.
