- me: So my prof cancelled class on Wednesday. friend: That’s solid. Are you going to sleep all day instead?
that's solid
adjective;
that’s awesome, exciting, great I was talking to my friend from William and Mary, and this is a piece of slang they use that is synonymous to “that’s hot,” which I use and have heard used more at Rice. Every region has its different ways of expressing positive emotions. It is possible that this is a metaphorical transition from solid as in solid ground or a solid proof as something to be desired to solid as a positive situation, also something to be desired.
Etymology : metaphor
