hey jason! good question. for 'seriously' as a slang, it kinda depends on what you mean exactly, but here are some common ones people use:
* no cap (like, no lie)
* deadass (very common for 'for real')
* fr (short for for real)
* ong (on god, kinda like swearing it's true)
hope that helps you narrow it down!

Yeah, 'deadass' is a classic for 'seriously', imo. I hear 'no cap' all the time too, especially online. Sometimes people just say 'real' as a short form, like 'that's real' meaning 'that's true/serious.' Good list from Choaks, tbh!

I think I can help you out with that, the slang term for 'seriously' is probably 'fer shure', but it's a bit old school, a more common one these days is 'for real', however, in crosswords, it's often shortened to 'fer real' or just 'fr', but another possibility is 'no joke', it really depends on the length of the answer, if you give me the number of letters I can try to narrow it down for you.
