Categories: Internet Slang

The slang term “2319” is a reference to a scene in the animated film Monsters, Inc. In the movie, “2319” is the code used by the characters to alert others when a human sock enters the monster world accidentally. It has since been adopted as a slang term to represent an unexpected problem or situation.

A “2319” is a sudden issue or complication that arises unexpectedly, often causing chaos or needing immediate attention. It is similar to saying “we have a problem” or “a wrench in the works.” It is generally used humorously or in a casual context to describe a situation gone wrong.

Example 1:
Person A: “I was just about to leave for work, and then my car wouldn’t start!”
Person B: “Oh no, sounds like a 2319! You might need a mechanic to fix it.”

Example 2:
Teacher: “Okay, class, we have a pop quiz today!”
Students: “What? That’s a 2319! We weren’t prepared for this!”

Note: The term “2319” is specific to fans of the movie Monsters, Inc. and may not be widely recognized outside of that context.
