Gwinnett

Gwinnett County is not Atlanta. It's not far, and depending on traffic, the trip isn't too long, but it's not in Atlanta, it's not the same neighborhood. Memphis, TN is certainly not Atlanta. So nobody from Memphis or Gwinnett county would say they were an Atlanta native because it would be false. Most people from Memphis or Gwinnett would say they were from Memphis or Gwinnett, and they would be happy enough with where they were from and who they were that they wouldn't feel a need to say they were an Atlanta native.

A poser is someone who is not who they say they are, and most people don't want to be known as a poser, so they tell people where they're really from when someone asks, since it's hard to trust somebody who would think of lying about something as seemingly harmless as where you were from or what your favorite color was as something everybody does all the time. Most people don't look to benefit from saying their favorite color or where they are from or who they are is something different than what it really is. Gwinnett is different than Atlanta, just like green is different than blue. People who want/choose to live in Gwinnett have their reasons, just like people who want/choose to live in Atlanta have theirs, but to try and say you live in Atlanta when you live in Gwinnett to gain something is no good. It would be like a business based in Atlanta having a Gwinnett address that didn't exist while people were sending money there, thinking it was a legitimate business.

Mailbox

It's unwise to practice or do something like a mailbox on somebody you're not on good terms with. Not everybody is playing like you are, know that before attempting stupidity.

Turns out the guy they thought was the new guy was not looking to get in on any games they were playing, including mailbox, or get accepted as one of them. He had had many other people in his younger years who thought he was somebody to fool around with, including a mollycoddle at home .

Nurse Ratched

The Nurse from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

The dork girl thought she was Nurse Ratched, trying to keep everyone afraid of her so that they wouldn't think that her and her mouth were afraid of them. She didn't want them to take their masks off just yet.

She's the man

When a girl tries to grab something out of your hand (or does grab something out of your hand), she's doing it because she's the man.

She's the man, she just took your cigarette and started smoking it.

Coward

The kind of guy you wouldn't want to hire.

Manager-That coward Dalton was supposed to have everything done by yesterday and just like he usually does, he ran from the responsibility.
Coworker-Hahahaha he's gonna go home and cry when you fire him what do you want to bet.
Manager-The tab at the next dinner party, his other coworkers will want a night out when they hear that he got fired hahahaha.
Coworker-That's a bet then.

Bad acting

Doing te same thing as crying wolf really. One minute you'reall fucked up or psychologically traumatized after getting hit in the face, the next minute you're fine.

He kept on with his bad acting and laughing about it 5 minutes after it was over, so she tricked him into giving her his left kidney.

Walk-in

What every appointment really is when you don't drive a car.

Front desk-Did you want to schedule a walk-in?
Guy-Well I walked here, so this is a wake-up like any other for me.
Front desk-Oh yea, I meant...
Guy-I know what you meant, you might as well schedule a walk-in then.
