Samesies (Slang) Meaning and Examples

"Samesies" is an informal and playful slang term used to express agreement or similarity with someone else's statement or sentiment. It is often used among friends or in casual conversations to show that you share the same feelings, thoughts, or experiences as the other person.

For example, imagine two friends, Sarah and John, discussing what kind of pizza they like best. John says, "I love a classic margarita pizza" to which Sarah responds with, "Samesies!" This means that Sarah also likes margarita pizza, showing her shared preference by saying "samesies." The "same" in "samesies" shows that Sarah has the same favorite pizza as John.

"Samsies" is not just used for preferences; it can be used for opinions as well. Imagine Sarah and John from our previous example are at a fork in a hiking trail where the first way is a steep shortcut but the other is an easy but long path. Sarah says, "I think we should take the easy path," to which John responds, "Samesie!" This shows that he shares the same opinion as hers.
