Except for the very online, I think meaning 5 > (slang) Crazy; crackpot. is more common in every day use than meaning 4 >(slang) Extremely good at something (usually a video game). Neither the Merriam-Webster dictionary nor the Cambridge dictionary[0] list meaning 4, further hinting that it is a use that is mostly occurring in niche online communities. Note that I'm not saying meaning 4 is incorrect[1]. There's no such thing. Words is words. Usage is meaning. But I think I am justified in my belief that it is still relatively uncommon. [0] The OED wanted money to show me their list of meanings. [1] Although it is almost assuredly a mishearing of "crack". |

Even "S-tier" has crept into the non-gamer vernacular. My wife and her friends - not gamers - are using it.
TikTok spreads this stuff like wildfire.
