Type Shit means an informal affirmation or a tag meaning something like “that kind of thing”.
What does Type Shit mean?
At the end of a description, type shit can summarize a mood or category. As a short response, it may signal recognition or agreement. The softened spelling type shi generally keeps the same meaning while dropping the final letter.
How to read it in context
Do not translate it mechanically. In “quiet weekend, movies and snacks, type shit,” it is a loose conversational tag. In response to a plan, it can mean “I get you.” The expression is associated with informal speech, including African American English and music.
