Geddit

Geddit is an informal way of saying "get it," formed by blending the sounds of the two words into one (like when quickly saying them in conversation). People often use it in casual speech or online conversations to check if someone understands something, similar to phrases like "got it" or "you know?" The term is prevalent in British and Australian English but also appears in Internet slang and informal American speech.

People often use "geddit" when emphasizing a joke, explaining an idea, or ensuring their point is understood. For example, someone might say, "The pun was intended—geddit?" to highlight a wordplay. You might also see it when people are encouraging others to get something they desire, like working hard to obtain a boujee lifestyle or asking someone out on a date.

The term follows a pattern seen in other informal contractions, like "gotcha" (from "got you") or "watcha" (from "what are you"). While people mostly use geddit in spoken or text-based informal settings, it rarely appears in formal writing.
