Wondering what WSG means? Whether you saw it on a TikTok video, in a Snapchat message, or a friend texted you “WSG?” and you don’t know what to say, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ll explain what WSG means, how to use it, and how to respond to it. Read on to learn everything you need to know!
WSG Meaning
WSG stands for “What’s good?” in text messages and on Snapchat. WSG or “What’s good” is used to ask others how their day is going. This question phrase has the same meaning as “What’s up,” “How’s it going,” and “How are you?”

What does WSG mean on TikTok and Snapchat?
Download Article
WSG is short for “what’s good?” on TikTok and Snapchat. It means the same thing on Instagram and other social media, as well. “What’s good?” is sort of like, “What’s going on?” or, “What's up?” It’s a way to casually ask how someone is doing. There’s also no difference between wsg, Wsg, and WSG.[1]XResearch source

What does WSG mean over text?
Download Article
WSG is also short for “what’s good?” over text. If a friend of yours messaged you “WSG,” they’re checking in to see how you’re doing or what you’re up to. It’s like “Hey, what are you doing?” or, “What’s up?”[2]X Expert Source John KeeganDating CoachExpert Interview
Section 3 of 5:
How do you use WSG?
Download Article
1 Use WSG to ask how somebody is doing. This is the most common way to use WSG. Send “WSG” on its own with a question mark and see how the other person replies. Alternatively, you can send a little introductory note alongside a WSG to ask a question or make your intentions clear.[3]XResearch source For example, you might send someone:
“WSG? How was your shift at work?”
“Hey! WSG! I hope you’re doing well.”
“WSG Jason?! Long time no talk.”
2 Send WSG as a smooth, flirty way to reach out or try to meet up. You could send a slick “WSG?” to see if you crush is open to hanging out. This is also a good way to “take their temperature” when it comes to figuring out how interested they are. You could say:
“WSG cutie? How was your day?”
“Hey!!! WSG? You going to Lonnie’s thing tonight?”
“WSG? You trying to link up tonight?”
3 Try using WSG in a kind of boastful, confrontational way. You can use WSG in a kind of chest-banging, show off way. With this use, WSG is kind of rhetorical question. It’s a bit of a challenge to step up or shut up.[4]XResearch source In rare instances, you might use it unironically as a threat. For example:
“WSG? You trying to get beat down in Smash Bros tonight?”
“I heard you were trash talking my jump shot. WSG 😂?? You trying to play after school?”
“Were you seriously gossiping about me again? WSG? I thought we got past this?”

How do you respond to WSG?
Download Article
1 Tell the other person how you’re feeling or what you’re doing. If someone sends you “WSG?” on its own or it seems like they’re just seeing how you’re doing, start off by answering their question.[5]X Expert Source John KeeganDating CoachExpert Interview You could tell them what you’re doing, how you are, or both. You could reply to “WSG?” and say:
“Nothing, really. Just got home from school. About to make some food.”
“Oh, man. I’m exhausted. It’s been a long day. How you doing?”
“Not a whole lot. What are you up to?”
2 Lean into it (or brush them off) if they’re being flirty. How you respond to a flirtatious “WSG” depends on how you feel about the person. If you like them, lean into it and play along, answering with another acronym of adding a wink emoji to your text.[6]X Expert Source John KeeganDating CoachExpert Interview If you don’t like them, brush them off, give them an excuse about why you can’t talk, or just ignore them. You might respond to a flirty WSG message by saying:
“Nothing. Just relaxing at home. You trying to hang out, handsome?”
“WSG? Ngl, I thought you’d have something slicker than that 😏.”
“I’m busy tonight. Sorry.”
3 Diffuse the situation or play along if they’re being braggy. If someone sends you a WSG message where they’re puffing their chest out or playfully scrapping with you, play along by throwing some playful banter back their way. If it seems like they’re seriously trying to fight, your best bet may be to try calming things down before it gets out of hand. For example:
“Oh, you think you’re the man, huh? Bet I’d beat you 1 on 1 any time 😏.”
“I’d ask you to put your money where your mouth is, but I don’t think you have any money 🤣”
“Hey, I’m not trying to start any trouble. I’m sorry if I offended you.”

Alternative Definitions

1 With Special Guest. If you see “WSG” on a poster or marquee, it likely means “with special guest.” You may see this acronym presented as “WSG/” or “wsg/” as well.[7]XResearch source For example, you might see:
“Live on 5/24: The Roots wsg Reggie Watts”
“Dolly Parton WSG/ Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers”
“Come down to The House of Blues! November 14th: The Wu-Tang Clan wsg The Cool Kids”
2 Water Sewer Gas. In some cities, the water department, sewage department, and gas utilities are bundled together in a single office and they may be abbreviated as “WSG.” You may also see “WSG” in classified ads for apartments, since who pays for these services is a crucial part of any tenant-landlord contract. For example:
“Scottsboro’s WSG department recently rolled out a new paperless billing program.”
“For rent: Studio apartment in Cass Corridor neighborhood. Landlord pays WSG.”
“I’m looking for a roommate. We split WSG. Let me know if you know anybody!”
