KING

What Does KING Mean?

KING is a term of respect used between young men and boys.

The word KING is widely used by young men and boys as a term of respect when talking to a male friend.

KING is similar in use to terms such as "dude" (US) and "mate" (UK), but often implies a little more respect, either for the person or for something they have said or done. For example:
  • John: Yo KING, how you doing?
  • Barry: Hey KING.
  • Tony: So I said, "you're so stupid, you got hit by a parked car!"
  • Joe: KING!
The female version of KING is, of course, QUEEN.
