Type Shii / Type Shit
AAVE slang used as agreement, approval, or a shorthand for 'that kind of stuff' — often written type shi / type shii online.
Definition
Type shit (also type shi / type shii) is flexible AAVE slang. Most often it means agreement or validation — roughly 'yeah, exactly' or 'I feel that.' It can also mean 'that kind of stuff' or label a vibe/quality ('that's my type shit'). Softened spellings (shi, shii) and emoji swaps help it past platform filters.
History
Rooted in AAVE and hip-hop speech; Know Your Meme documents heavy TikTok/X/Instagram usage into the 2020s, including related caption formats like 'typa shit I been on.' Exact first coinage is hard to pin, but mainstream overuse and parody clips peaked in the mid-2020s.
