Deadly!

If you’ve come across the term “Deadly” in a comment and were unsure of its meaning in relation to the post, it is likely that it is being used in an Aboriginal context.

“Deadly” is often used by Aboriginal people to express something positive, such as “Awesome,” “Great,” or “Excellent.” Additionally, the Deadly Awards, which were held annually from 1995 to 2013, recognize exceptional achievements in music, sport, entertainment, and community by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Now you know what the word means, you can understand when you encounter it in comments in the future!
