two different people

A phrase describing two individuals who have very little to nothing in common, in terms of personalities, interests, opinions and/or beliefs. A softer way to say that two people are generally uncomfortable in each other's presence and because of the resulting tensions are unlikely ever to get along or even be able to stand one another.

Dave doesn't talk to his father anymore. They're just two different people who never saw eye-to-eye on anything.

matrix

a term describing a controlled environment or situation in which people act or behave in ways that conform to roles pre-determined by a powerful person(s) who decides how the world is supposed to function.

Living on or within a matrix may also be referred to as "on the grid", with greater flexibility and choice available to those who venture off-the-grid.

freeter

an adult, though no longer a student, who does not have full-time employment and all the benefits that comes with it. Instead, a freeter chooses to work part-time or hold down odd jobs, even while full time employment is available.

Being a freeter means having more flexibility and freedom than someone with a permanent job. Freeters usually do not earn enough money to have their own home, so they often stay at home with their parents indefinitely, or else rent rooms in others' homes.

In today's economy, it's hard to know if a part-time employee is a freeloader or freeter, or is simply struggling to survive.
