American Slang - Are you getting your hair ON FLEEK? Hello friends, I was talking to a friend of mine this morning, saying that I was about to have my hair done. My friend replied to me by texting: are you getting your hair ON FLEEK? I was able to decipher the meaning of the word, and then double checked on urban dictionary which states that the meaning is "ON POINT", like "cool" I would like to know more about this slang word. When is it used? Who does it use it? How long has been used? Thanks! E.

"On fleek," which as you pointed out means "on point" (another slang word, ultimately meaning that something "looks good" or "is executed well.") really only became widespread about a year ago or so. It is mainly used by young people. Although, as with most new slang terms, grown-ups use it in a slightly sarcastic way almost poking fun at the term. I believe the original context was, "eyebrows, on fleek," which means, "(my) eybrows are looking really good." Given its slangy nature and the fact that "fleek" isn't a "real" word, it has morphed into a general term to mean, "cool." "That jacket is on fleek." "Your hair is on fleek." Note that this word is really slangy, and a lot of people still aren't aware of it. I would not say it is in general circulation among the population. The most I've ever used the phrase is here, in this post.
