"Most deaf is an abbreviation of most definitely. It is used when you are in total agreement with someone. It can also be used instead of the word yes. For example, did you enjoy the show last night? Most deaf, it was awesome."
What it means
Means most definitely, a punchy way to say yes or show full agreement without dragging the sentence out. It comes from clipping the phrase down into something quicker and cooler, the sort of reply that lands fast and sounds sure of itself. You drop it when you are fully backing what someone just said or when the answer is an easy yes.
Usage examples
"You coming to the cookout tonight? Mos Def, I already grabbed my hoodie and texted my cousin to save me a plate."
"Are you in for the road trip if we split the petrol three ways? Mos def, I will clear my whole weekend for it."
Where it comes from
Clipped from most definitely, the vowels shaved off for speed. The shortcut, also worn by a famous rapper as a name, became the cool quick stamp on a sure yes.
