What does “Retweet (verbal)” mean?

Used verbally to mean 'I agree completely' — like co-signing what someone just said. 'Retweet.'

Where “Retweet (verbal)” comes from

From the Twitter/X 'retweet' button that reshares someone's post; teens lifted the word into spoken agreement.

Teens use it as a fast, casual way to say 'same' or 'well said.'

Just a verbal thumbs-up. No concern.

“Pizza for dinner? Retweet.” Quick, full agreement — co-signing what was just said.
“Retweet, that teacher really does play favorites.” Emphatically backing up a friend’s opinion out loud.
