Issa
意味: Contraction of 'it's a.' Used as a declarative shorthand.
Issa is the AAVE contraction of 'it's a' that went viral after rapper 21 Savage said 'issa knife' in an interview when asked about his forehead tattoo. It became a meme format where anything could be declared with 'issa' — 'issa mood,' 'issa vibe,' 'issa look.' Issa Rae's HBO show 'Insecure' also boosted the word's mainstream visibility.
