Street voices

"Heard is used when understanding what has been said. It can be used to replace the phrase got it or even the word perfect. For example, hey we need to get there at 8am tomorrow morning. Heard. I set my alarm for 6.30."
What it means
Heard is a quick way of saying you understand, you got the message, or everything is sorted. It often stands in for got it, alright, or perfect without needing a whole speech. Proper efficient little reply, this one. You hear it in plans, work chats, and everyday back and forth when someone says the info and you are already mentally putting your shoes on.
Usage examples
"We need the van loaded by seven so we can beat traffic. Heard, I already set two alarms and bribed myself with coffee."
"Be at the dock by six so we catch the tide. Heard, I will bring the cooler and the spare oars."
Where it comes from
Lifted from radio talk, where heard meant the message came through loud and clear. Trimmed to one word, it became the quick nod that you got it and need no more said.
