Definition

The "alive and kicking" phrase dates back to at least the early-19th century when it referred to people actually being able to kick as a sign that they were still alive. AAK was eventually adopted as an acronym for the phrase in the late-1990s and 2000s as Internet lingo and texting became more commonplace.

TT4N

TTFNmeans the same thing as TT4N, and it's slightly more popular - because it is part of the Disney character Tigger's catchphrase. However, you can use either version to say so long to a friend or loved one who you plan to speak with again soon.

chump chants

A dismissive term for rap and hip-hop music that the speaker considers subpar, low-quality, or just plain bad. Essentially calling it music for chumps who don't know better. This is usually deployed by music snobs who think their taste is superior while they listen to something equally questionable.
