What does calm mean in slang?

"Calm" doesn't have a widely recognized specific slang meaning. It's generally used in its literal sense, meaning tranquil, peaceful, or relaxed.

However, it's often used in phrases that imply a sense of composure or control:

* "Keep calm": This is a common phrase used to tell someone to relax and not worry.

* "Stay calm": Similar to "keep calm," this phrase emphasizes remaining composed in a difficult situation.

* "Chill out": This is a more casual way of saying "relax" and is often used among friends.

* "Calm down": This is used to tell someone to stop being agitated or angry.

In some contexts, "calm" can be used ironically or sarcastically to imply the opposite:

* "Yeah, I'm totally calm." (said with a tense voice or body language)

Ultimately, the meaning of "calm" in slang depends on the context and the speaker's intention.
