That's highkey my favourite part of the agility runs. The way the dogs jump into their handler's arms after is way too adorable šŸ„ŗ

What's a high key?

TL;DR High key means obvious, low key means subtle

So he is saying, "That's obviously my favourite part of the agility runs" ?

Why not just use normal English words? It's not even efficient, high-key and low-key are longer to type...

It's more like he's not gonna hide it or fake being chill about it. If it's low-key your fave you're not gonna hype it up necessarily because you're keeping it on the downlow. When it's high key it's exciting. It's interesting. It's worth discussing. I meant "obvious" in the way that it's undisguised I guess

What's the point though? Just say it's your favourite. Who cares if it's high or low key...

It's just a social indicator of excitement or investment level. Like we all have low-key and high-key feelings about stuff. It's just a way to express the degree of emotion. It's okay to not get it, though. Not all slang can resonate with all people

Language changes over time. The new terms are always brought in by the young, and they confuse the old. If you get confused by your own language thats how you know you're getting old.

Nah, high key disagree. Slang is always slang. Proper English is always proper English.

You're welcome to disagree all you want, but language is indeed not static.

This is a Reddit thread, not a graded English assignment. We donā€™t need to stick to ā€œproperā€ English here lol
