If you've ever sat through an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians (you can admit it, there's absolutely zero judgement here), then you'll know that when the Kardashian-Jenner sisters aren't Snapchatting or communicating via Kimoji, they speak in a lexis of their very own.

Every other word is 'Bible,' portmanteaus like 'momager' are totally normal - and who can forget the video where Kylie Jenner managed to embue the phrase 'just realising stuff' with deep philosophical meaning?

Now, in a new post to her subscription-only website, Kim has stepped in to help those of us who struggle to keep up with Kardashian-speak, with a handy guide to her most commonly used slang phrases, complete with sample sentences. Think of it as your entry-level Kardashian phrasebook. Thanks, Kimmy!

For your initiation into the Kardashian dictionary, here's the subtle difference between the phrases 'turnt' and 'lit.' It might well change your world...

Turnt (ternt): 'Not to be confused with "lit," "turnt" is used to describe the atmosphere of a party, event or group of individuals. A party is turnt when the vibes are lifted and participants are all having an amazing time.'

In a Sentence: Man, Khloé's birthday party was so turnt last night!

Lit (liht): 'The state of being so intoxicated, turned up or generally in an amazing mood; can be used to describe the state of mind of a person OR the state of a party or event.'

In a Sentence: The club was lit last night!

Now, can someone please tell us what exclaiming 'Bible' actually means?
