Diversion

A way to get people to focus on something else, such as when somebody wants to take people's attention away from similarities between their own country and a near-dictatorship and distract them with a story about a country overseas somewhere.
The girl told a story about Belarus, which despite her description of the country as being a near-dictatorship, was one of the few countries that wasn't on a lockdown at this time. It was a good diversion from events in her own country.

Boys N' the Hood

A film that has at least one inconsistency. In order for Doughboy and Ricky to be half brothers who are the same age, their mother would have to be fucking two different guys at the same time (which is unlikely to be okay with their different fathers) and they ended up being born 9 months (less than a full year) apart, otherwise it's impossible for two brothers (even half brothers) to be the exact same age at any point in life.
Hollywood makes some unbelievable shit, Boys n' the Hood is no different.

Laughing against

The kind of laughter that doesn't feel good to anybody, because it's done with/for an enemy/opponent.
Nothing he/she/they did made the guy laugh from enjoyment of it, instead the guy was laughing against him/her/them, he didn't think he/she/they were the funny kind of joke..

Respect

Respect is not essential to life. You dont need anybody else's respect to live, and they dont need yours. The most chicken shit people are the ones who wont stand alone when nobody likes or respects them. Gangs are full of chicken shits.
Britney Spears and a gang member aren't so different, they stand only with a group, only when they're in the majority, outnumbering the other guy. Nobody needs respect to keep going, and not being respected doesn't stop anybody. A lot of people seem to think they're going to disrespect Trump out of power. Like anybody who is human, he cares what people think of him, but not being respected won't change or stop anything he's doing, get real about life.

Parade

You would almost think there would be no parades any more, not because of the virus, but because someone would call a parade racist like they did with the statues for not being politically correct enough. No crowd, black, white, yellow, brown (and a red indian or two) would gather, people would just remain divided if there was no parade to go to.
Indians don't have a parade on thanksgiving, so should the rest of us put an end to the parades? Would that somehow right all the wrongs that have been done in this country? If there really was a better way to treat each other, wouldn't people have thought of it and done it before now? What good has hope ever done anybody? Hope is for (and by) the hopeless. Wishing is for what someone hasn't made happen, it's easier to wish for something that isn't likely to happen to happen than it is to go ahead and just make it happen, to get it over with.

Fire sign

Someone who wants everybody else to be mad when they're mad, they dont ever want to be the one everybody is angry with. As long as its somebody else, they want everybody to be mad at somebody.
The guy/girl was a fire sign person who loved to put a shitload of pressure on somebody else when it didn't matter, but didn't want any put on themselves by anybody else, that way he/she didn't have to ever be dependable to anyone, or accountable for anything.

Weak

Someone that tries to control a population with threats (or through dramatic, fatal examples). Threats of police brutality aren't the only kind of threats. Threats of stricter restrictions, more rules/laws, more enforcement of rules, more pressure, all to win what exactly?
The bubbly girl wanted to keep everyone around her locked down and restricted, so that instead of her being the outsider, they would all be the outsiders with no access to anything. She was weak, but never suffered any of what went with it the way other people suffered for her instead.
