INTERJECTION · ALSO A CONTRACT

WHAT “BET” ACTUALLY MEANS

Used to agree to something or confirm a plan, like “okay”, “deal” or “sounds good”. It can also be used as a challenge, as in “bet you can’t”, meaning “prove it”.

ZACK’S TRANSLATION

The shortest possible way to agree to a plan you will forget by Thursday.

“BET” USED IN A SENTENCE

  • “See you at 8?” “Bet.”

    They will arrive at 8:47. “Bet” is not a timestamp.

  • “Bet you can’t eat it in one bite.”

    Narrator: they could not.

  • “Bet, I’ll bring snacks.”

    He did not bring snacks.
