When I first saw someone comment “That’s fire 🔥” on my post, I honestly got confused. I remember thinking, why are they saying fire? I even felt a little worried, like maybe I did something wrong. But then I started noticing the word everywhere.
People were calling songs fire, outfits fire, even simple selfies fire. That’s when I realized that in text slang, “fire” does not mean real flames.
It actually means something is amazing, cool, or very impressive. I learned that it’s a strong compliment. After understanding it, I started using it myself.
When I saw a great video, I typed, “This is fire!” and it felt like the perfect way to show excitement without writing too much. So if someone calls your post fire, don’t stress like I did at first. It simply means you did something really good. 🔥
