ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Smack talk

Smack talk is like when you play a game with your friends and you say things to them that are like teasing or making fun of them. It's like when you say "I'm gonna beat you so bad!" or "You're not even good at this game, why are you even playing?" It's just something people do to make the game more fun and exciting. It's like being silly and joking around, but sometimes people can take it too far and start being mean or hurtful. So it's important to know when to stop and not hurt other people's feelings.
