Hi

Someone please tell me.
Also,please tell me where online

What sort of slang do you want to study? American slang is different from British slang, which is different from Australian slang. You have to choose.
There are many slang dictionaries available. Just go to google and ask for Slang dictionaries.
You will find one such dictionary at: http://www.slangsite.com/slang/W.html
It says:
whacked: surgical slang for remove
Example: We whacked his appendix last night
whacked: Just...not right. Meaning crazy, weird, odd, interestingly funny, etc. Also used for sick humor.
Example: That joke is really whacked.
But whacked can also mean completely tired out. (This is not mentioned in that slang site.)
You can also go to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Whacked.
They give nine explanations for wahacked. |
