2018 modern slang words teenagers use:
(BIG) RIP
Yes, it still means “Rest in Peace,” but you definitely wouldn’t be saying it about someone who just died. “RIP” is used in response to an unfortunate but mild problem, and “big RIP” is used in response to an unfortunate but slightly less mild problem.
Sometimes, people also say “RIP me.” We say this in person or over text. Occasionally, we pronounce the individual R, I, and P letters of “RIP”, but most people just say it how it’s spelled.
Example: “Big RIP I just spilled coffee all over my computer” or “RIP me I just spilled coffee all over my computer!”
