Tall Tales: Slangs: Bhavya

Big up: You use this when you want to show a ton of respect, give a shoutout, or hype someone up for their achievements. It’s like saying “props to you” or “huge congratulations.” If your friend drops a fire playlist or gets into their dream college, you’d say “big up to yourself” to let them know you’re proud of them. You also hear it all the time in songs or on the radio when DJs are shouting out their hometowns or sponsors. It’s just a really wholesome, supportive way to acknowledge someone’s hard work or presence.
