ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Trash-talk

Trash-talk is a way some people use words to make fun of other people, especially when they are playing games or competing in sports or other activities. It's like when you might tell your friend that they are slow or that they aren't very good at something just to tease them.

But sometimes, trash-talk can be mean or hurtful, and it's important to remember to treat others with respect and kindness even when we're joking around. So, it's okay to have fun and poke a little fun at each other, but we should always make sure that our words don't hurt anyone's feelings.
