What is a face card? (And other slang, explained.)
What’s a face card? “Face card” is a slang way of talking about someone’s looks, specifically their face. It’s a metaphor about credit cards—when your credit card declines, it means there’s no money in your account, you’re broke, washed up. When your face card declines, it means you don’t have the looks or beauty you might think you do. But if your face card never declines, then you’ve got a flawless mug that’s always ready to swipe.
Where did “face card” come from? “Face card” is a queer and AAVE slang term that’s been around for a minute, but more recently became popular on places like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter/X. It’s been used in songs by Beyoncé and Troye Sivan, boosting its popularity.
How do you use the phrase?
Say, “Her face card never declines” to compliment someone’s looks, specifically their facial features. It’s a playful, silly, and fun way to give a compliment.
Similar slang:
- Mogging means to outdo someone else, particularly when it comes to looks.
- Serving (face) is another bit of LGBTQ/AAVE slang that means to do something well. It’s kind of like when a waiter delivers a plate of delicious food. You’re the waiter, and you’re serving your audience. To “serve face” means your facial features or makeup is looking especially good.
- Ate is another bit of LGBTQ/AAVE slang that comes from a food metaphor. If someone “ate,” it means they did something especially well. If they “ate and left no crumbs,” it means they did it so well that there’s no room for improvement.
