What Does Smash Mean in Slang?

[saramax]

I recently heard my teen use the word “smash” in a conversation, and it didn’t seem like they were talking about a video game. I’m a bit confused about what smash means in slang and whether it has an inappropriate meaning. Can someone explain the different ways smash is used in texting or social media? I’d like to better understand the context, so I know if it’s something I should be concerned about.

In slang, “smash” can have different meanings depending on context. It may mean doing something very well, like “You smashed that test,” meaning you did great. In gaming, it can refer to playing Super Smash Bros.. Sometimes, it has mature meanings, so context matters.
