Disrespect

You have people who claim they don't respect you in life. When you lack respect for somebody though, you usually lack enough respect for them you don't mind showing them you have no respect for them.

Tim says Muscleman674 is an internet tough guy in real life, and implies that he has no respect for the guy online with what he says of him. Yet in real life, Tim won't disrespect the guy even after he's been disrespected by the guy. He must respect something about the guy then, even if they're not friends.

Womanizer

Like a player, a womanizer is a guy who's giving out compliments to lots of females. A guy is either giving out compliments and womanizing or he's not giving out anything, decide on whether the guy you're calling womanizer has been sparing with compliments or whether he's the kind of guy who wouldn't compliment a female if the apocalypse had already started.

You're either a womanizer or you're not. A guy who's not giving compliments to lots of different females is not a womanizer.

Asshole next door

The asshole neighbor you get when you try to turn an asshole into a boy next door.

A few people tried to tame the guy like he was a playful dog or a racehorse, but he didn't have the same kind of relationship even some of the more unruly, wilder horses had with people. The more they tried, the more they met the asshole next door.

Gravity

Gravity is kind of like reality, or the metaphysical, it doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not, what goes up will come down at some point.

Gravity is real whether you believe it is or not. You don't believe in god (despite using God's name to bless people), because you can't see God, but you can see what gravity does even if you don't believe in it.

Country

Not the same as suburban. Suburban is not everything that is not the city, suburban is the area around a city that is not urban or country.

Depending on what coffee table books you read, neighborhoods in upper Manhattan are suburban since they are not around midtown or downtown (and mostly residential/bedroom neighborhoods), and someone who wanted to talk shot about somebody's neighborhood or put it down could mention it, though you would think the way someone from the neighborhood describes their own neighborhood is accurate enough, without reading statistics about their neighborhood or going by a coffee table book. The same is true for many areas in many cities, a little bit of knowing what you're talking about is better than reading a book or what you think you know about something or someone. The country is not the suburbs and people who grew up somewhere that was not suburban at the time they grew up don't tend to have suburban values.

Peloton

Its a little suspect when everyone else is losing money but you and just a few others.

Peloton doesn't seem to have the same worries other companies claim to have at this time, they think they're a beacon of courageous leadership, hope, heroic acts, and optimism in a time of need with all the money they're making.

Hero finder

Someone who tries to tell the public who to worship via the media or internet.

The hero finder thinks he/she knows what's in everyone's best interest, and found just the guy/girl for the public to start worshipping. Yesterday it was the kid who tackled the gunman, today it's an athlete, tomorrow its somebody's teacher, the next day it's another person most people are not impressed by.
