turnt

Turnt is a slang term that describes a state of being highly intoxicated, typically by alcohol or drugs, and exhibiting enthusiastic, energetic, or wild behavior as a result. It is often associated with parties, celebrations, and social gatherings where the atmosphere is lively and uninhibited. The term implies a heightened state of excitement and a departure from normal behavior, characterized by increased loudness, dancing, and a general feeling of revelry.

The origin of "turnt" is believed to be rooted in African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It gained widespread popularity in the early 2000s through hip-hop music and culture, becoming a common expression in popular lexicon. The word itself suggests a transformation or a shift into a more extreme, "turned up" state of being. While often used in a positive or celebratory context, it can also be associated with excessive or irresponsible behavior depending on the situation and the individual's actions. The usage of "turnt" is predominantly informal and found in casual conversation, social media, and entertainment.
