As we sped down Lake Michigan Drive, I was still feeling a little star-struck and decided that on account of her uber-hot looks, I'd need to start launching negs at her like there was no tomorrow.

(quiz bowl) a penalty for giving an incorrect answer before a tossup has been fully read.

Negs include asking whether her nails are real, or saying that you saw someone else wearing her skirt.
For parents

Neg means: a penalty for giving an incorrect answer before a tossup has been fully read.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

neg means: a penalty for giving an incorrect answer before a tossup has been fully read.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
