Know it all

Someone who thinks they have the one and only answer to everything.

A lot of people confused the guy with a know it all. He didnt think he had all the answers to everything, but he was sure of which ones were bullshit.

Untamable image

Posing as an untamable being.

She wanted an untamable image and an outlaw poster, but the reality was there were people far more stubborn, far more independent/self reliant/loners by nature, and far less competitive about life that thought the untamable image was silly. She seemed more like someone who wanted to fit a loner image when that was convenient, a social image when that was convienient, an untamable image when that was convenient, and a responsible even slighty subserviant housewife image when that was convenient.

Thrown game

Whether somebody called you a favorite for rookie of the year, or for an unlikely trip to the playoffs, any time an opponent has thrown the game or rigged the system to blow you off course, you never had much of a chance, no matter what you did with the slim chance you had.

When you're going against a thrown game every season, the real underdog was always you. The real favorite was always the other guy.

Mastermind

A guy who would do anything for you but fall in line for you is not a puppet to a mastermind.

The mastermind went and looked for another puppet when she found out the guy wasn't a puppet.

Tough neighborhood

Since income is not the factor that makes a neighborhood a tough neighborhood, it must be a neighborhood that's been around a while. A newer neighborhood hasn't been broken in yet must be the logic that separates one from the other. Like most neighborhoods though, there will be some who think its a great place to live, some who think it's boring, and some who make it sound like the most interesting place on earth, beyond just a great place to live or grow up.

The guy made his neighborhood sound like a war zone when he wanted more respect, and the most interesting place on earth when people didn't think he was interesting, always talking about shootings and robberies. Talking about a tough neighborhood can get as overrated as some of the parties described as the most popular can be. A bunch of people in the same place at the same time isn't always interesting.

Comedy

Something said or done that is intended to be taken as something other than comedy isn't meant to be taken as comedy.

Going to a comedy show is meant to be taken as comedy, when you go to a show you know why you're there, you go to a show intentionally to laugh at intentional jokes and humor. The show is meant to be taken as comedy. Outside of a show, not everything is meant to be taken as comedy, which is one reason people go to a show, to laugh at shit that wasn't funny that happened in their lives. Still, outside a comedy show everything isn't meant to be taken as comedy.
