v. When a person, typically a male youth, overcompensates for low socioeconomic status by listening to hard rock or rap and getting tattoos, attempting to portray himself as an alpha male, when in fact he is subservient in the business world due to his poor education and low IQ. He is, in essence, socially and economically subservient, despite his outward rebellion. Hence the phrase: his cheeks are in the air.

Bob: "That dude is always trying to act hard, but he's stuck in this fast food joint working for the man with his cheeks in the air."

Jeremy: "True dat, homie. Word."

Heart on Your Cheek

To wear your heart on your cheek is the opposite of wearing your heart on your sleeve.

A person who wears their heart on their cheek keeps their true emotions hidden, usually to keep themselves from getting hurt and/ or to hurt others.

This term is from the song 'How to be a Heartbreaker' by Marina and The Diamonds.

"Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat."
