Neat
sweet
ridiculous
hot

The four words above are frequently used by people in informal situations with meanings that differ from their "proper" or standard ones. First, let's take a look at their original, literal definitions:
1. neat - tidy, organized; efficient.
2. sweet - sugary; sugary food; pleasant, delightful.
3. ridiculous - laughable, comical; absurd.
4. hot - very warm; spicy.
In everyday informal conversations, those words take on different connotations. Sweet and neat can be used as compliments to things and people who are considered cool, nice, interesting. For instance:
- Man, that ride is neat!
- You got a bonus! Sweet!
Ridiculous can also assume a better connotation than the original. It can refer to something being greater, better than expected:
- He made a ridiculous amount of money at that job.
Finally, hot can be used to describe something or someone that is quite famous/popular:
- You haven't heard this song yet? But this band is hot! Everyone knows them!
