Stunt is often employed as a slang term to mean showing off. It is akin to the word "Flex," serving a similar purpose in language.
Stunt slang examples
Stunt is predominantly used as a verb. For instance, the phrase "I’m gonna stunt on these suckas" exemplifies its use. Rap artist 50 Cent popularized the term with his song 'Stunt 101,' where he proclaims, "I'll teach you how to stunt - My wrists stay rocked up - My TV's pop up in a Maybach Benz." Here, 50 Cent demonstrates the art of stunting—showing off—by flaunting diamond-clad wrists and a luxury car equipped with a television.
Stunt can also function as a noun. It is occasionally used to describe women who exhibit their bodies provocatively without intending to engage with those around them, often labeled a ‘stunt.’ In this context, the term can refer to any woman perceived as a tease.
