Been new into crypto can sometimes be frustrating if you are not used to the terms and language been used to describe certain things.
Just in case you are shy to ask from anyone like the way I was back then, here are a list some terms and their meaning, you can learn from this and I do hope you find it helpful.

Moon : Period that is often believed that crypto price will rise exponentially

Rekt : this is a crypto term for Wrecked, meaning that an invested lost money, mostly a huge sum.

Hodl : Hold unto your dear lives, an abbreviation often used to advise investors to hold unto their tokens and not sell the dip

Bagholder: Someone holding unto a crypto token after it has gone on a wild pump and dump, an instance is when you hold unto a shitcoin.
