Rekt stands for Wrecked, a gaming slang abbreviation.

Exclamation meaning badly defeated or humiliated, as in "get rekt" after a crushing play. Used in gaming chat, streams and memes, and sometimes for financial losses in crypto trading.

Example: That last team fight? They got absolutely rekt.

Usage notes

The misspelling became a hallmark of 2010s gaming meme culture, especially "MLG" parody montages filled with air horns and sunglasses. It is used to taunt opponents, so it reads as trash talk. Crypto traders say they got "rekt" after a big market drop.
