Adopt Me Trading Slang: What W/F/L, HTT, DP and SSBD Mean
Adopt Me traders talk in short codes. W means you won the trade, L means you lost it, OP is an overpay, HTT is a pet that's hard to trade, DP is your dream pet, SSBD is Strawberry Shortcake Bat Dragon and NFR is a neon with Fly and Ride potions.
"how much did yall op for ur dp?" is a perfectly normal sentence on Adopt Me trading boards. Translated: how much did you overpay for your dream pet? Below are the words you'll meet in offers, trade posts and value lists, with examples of how players actually use them.
Words for judging a trade
| Term | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| W | win: you got more than you gave | "huge W" |
| F | fair: roughly even | "W/F/L?" |
| L | loss: you gave more | "that's an L, decline" |
| OP | overpay, giving more than the pet's value | "how much did yall op for ur dp?" |
| lowball | an offer far below the pet's value | "avoid being lowballed" |
| add, adds | small extras to even out a trade | "would have declined if I didn't see he was adding" |
| offer | what someone gives for your pet | "Is my offer for ssbd that bad?" |
| randoms | cheap mixed pets thrown in for value | "a lot of randoms for ride potions" |
| panic trading | accepting a bad deal just to finish | "stop panic trading" |
| upgrade, downgrade | trading several pets for one bigger pet, or one pet for several smaller ones | "downgrading for adds" |
Where fair actually ends is a judgment call. Our cut-offs are in W, F or L? How to Check an Adopt Me Trade in 30 Seconds.
Versions and potions
| Term | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| F, fly | flyable, from a Fly-A-Pet Potion | "F pot" |
| R, ride | rideable, from a Ride-A-Pet Potion | "not even worth an R pot now" |
| FR | fly and ride | "FR turtle" |
| NP, No Potion | no potions | "NP owl" |
| N, neon | neon version of a pet | "neon ccbd" |
| NFR | neon with fly and ride | "NFR kangaroo" |
| M, mega | mega neon, the step above neon | "mega owl" |
| MFR | mega neon with fly and ride | "MFR crow" |
| pots | potions | "fly ride pots" |
One letter causes more confusion than the rest. In "W/F/L" the F means fair; next to a pet, F means fly. "Is this F?" under a trade screenshot is asking about fairness, not potions.
Rarity
| Term | Rarity in the game |
|---|---|
| common | Common |
| uncommon | Uncommon |
| rare | Rare |
| UR, ultra | Ultra-Rare |
| leg, legendary | Legendary |
"A leg for a leg" means a legendary for a legendary. Remember that ultra-rare and legendary pets need a Trade License before they can go into a trade at all.
Demand and value
| Term | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| HTT | hard to trade | "mega cabbit CANNOT be this htt" |
| ETT | easy to trade | "I always take htt for my ett pets" |
| demand | how many people want a pet right now | "values are heavily based on demand" |
| stock, stocked | how many copies exist | "the highest stocked item from that event" |
| high tier, low tier | expensive and cheap pets on a value list | "never touched a high tier" |
| hype | sudden rush for a pet, often a new one | "it should not be rising every update" |
| retired | no longer obtainable, trade-only | "retired eggs" |
| DP | dream pet | "with values I'm never getting my dp" |
| FT | for trade | "are the pets ft?" |
| inv | inventory | "I hope to have a huge inv soon" |
| PW | pet wear | "legendary for pet wear" |

Words that mean close the trade

|---|---|

| "I'll add after" | a trade holds 18 items per side; anything promised must be in the window before you accept |
| trading script, force trade | in October 2026 the Adopt Me developers said there is no way to force a trade in normal gameplay without access to your account or device. Don't download or run anything someone sends you from a trade |

The trap: reading NFR as "no FR"
NFR always means Neon Fly Ride. New players sometimes read it as "no fly ride" and think the pet has no potions, or the other way round. A pet without potions is labeled No Potion or NP, and in the trade window the icons settle it: a green N for neon, fly and ride icons next to it.
