Slang for Common Feelings

Native English speakers rarely describe their feelings using plain, basic words in casual conversation, and this lesson covers common slang alternatives. Instead of I have no money, you'll hear I am broke, and instead of I am very tired, native speakers often say I am wiped. Being extremely busy becomes I am slammed, and feeling embarrassed becomes I am mortified. Excitement is often expressed as I am hyped, while being slightly drunk is described as tipsy. Feeling annoyed can become I am pissed in casual speech, and feeling extremely full is often expressed as I am stuffed. This kind of everyday slang is essential for understanding casual conversations, social media, and spoken English in general, since these expressions appear constantly in real-life speech. Learning to recognize and use this slang will help you sound more natural and current in informal English conversations with native speakers.
