vibes
Energy you sense
Vibes is short for vibrations, referring to the emotional atmosphere or feeling someone or something gives off.
A place can have good vibes or bad vibes; a person can kill the vibes by souring the mood.
The singular vibe works the same way: I'm getting a weird vibe from this guy.
In recent slang, vibes stands alone as approval or resigned acceptance: No work today, just vibes.
