"airbrain maxxing" means: Ironically leaning into maximum scatterbrained behavior — either genuinely unable to focus or deliberately performing cluelessness as a bit..... This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.
