I’ve come across the word crack being used in different slang contexts, and I’m a bit confused about what it actually means. I know it can refer to something serious, but I’ve also seen it used casually in jokes or online conversations. What does crack mean in slang, especially among teens? Does the meaning change depending on the context? Some examples would really help.
