How well do you know your Fantasy Football slang?
A vibe check is an evaluation of someone's emotional state. It is a way to measure someone's mood or aura, especially if they give out bad vibes, like being cynical or saying toxic things.
Vibe check became popular on social media, especially as memes on Twitter, in November 2019 as a way to comment on someone's mood. People have since begun using it in person, in texts, and in online messages.
An example of when a person may use it is when a friend gives off bad vibes by being pessimistic, and you confront them with a "vibe check" to see what's wrong. Or, if your dad yells at your sister for a joke during dinner, you might say that dad did not pass the vibe check.
