Hard By You

A comment directed to someone who has done something considered daring, badass, ballsy, risky, or awesome (see "savage").

The opposite is "soft by you", describing the opposite - action of someone who is not willing to take chances and take part in badass behavior.

People who consistently take part in "hard" or "soft" behavior can simply be described as such.

When referring to someone not involved in the conversation, one can substitute the "you" with the person's name or appropriate pronoun.

It should be noted that the phrase is often embellished with a well-placed "bro."

Popularized by soccer players throughout the United States, in states such as Florida, Virgina, and California. Recently, versions in Spanish have extended influence in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic.
- "Hard by you to not study at all for the final and still get an A."

- "Hard by me to fuck Stephanie when her boyfriend is away?"
- "Yeah, and soft by you to watch gay porn."

- "Soft by Mauricio to not throw a party while his parents are away."

- "Did you hear about Alex? He's dating like four girls at once!"
- "Yeah bro, he's so hard."

- "I just pulled 75 mph in a 40!"
- "Hard by you, bro!"

hard done by

This wonderful ironic phrase is used to describe someone who is acting as if Fate has just dealt him or her a terrible blow, when they have, in reality, suffered a minor inconvenience and should just get on with it.
On the other hand, "hard done by" should NEVER be used to describe someone who is trying to recover from a genuinely tragic event.
Friend #1: "I can't believe the way Bob has been acting all hard done by, ever since he had to pay to get his roof fixed."
Friend #2: "it's pathetic all right...."
OR
Friend #3: "I can't believe how hard done by Jessica has been acting lately."
Friend #4: "Well what do you expect? her brother just died! Isn't that kind of low, calling her names when something so terrible has happened?" (storms off.)

I could not sleep so I chugged some sleepy juice and now I'm so tired and sleepy.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
