deadass

Completely not kidding

Deadass is slang meaning completely serious or genuinely true, used to emphasize that you're not joking or exaggerating: I'm deadass not going to that party, He deadass showed up three hours late.

Originally from New York City speech, it functions as both an adverb and an adjective.

The term conveys earnest sincerity in contexts where skepticism might be expected.
