for realsies

Not joking now

For realsies is a playful, childlike intensifier meaning "really" or "seriously," used to emphasize sincerity or truth.

It's often ironic or affectionate among adults: Are you moving to Portland? For realsies?

The diminutive -ies ending gives it a deliberately silly tone, signaling the speaker isn't taking themselves too seriously.
