passive

Indirect, roundabout, or otherwise avoiding something or someone by nature.
He/she wasn't as straightforward as he/she claimed to be, he/she actually had a passive mindset of creeping up from behind and stabbing somebody in the back or shooting them in the head, then letting the other person know what the problem was.

Someone that lives in a dreamlike state.
If you want to say the guy is short dicked that's one thing. If he's Asian or Irish, that's more of an observation than an insult. But saying somebody is passive and soft and making it a combination of three words instead of one or two to get somebody's attention isn't something everybody gets a free pass to do, so hopefully you're not passive or soft yourself if you're saying something like that of somebody else.

Acting upon agression in a non-confrontational manner.
Being passive aggressive is eating the last piece of your brothers cake.. not because you wanted it. Just because he pissed you off earlier and you knew he wanted it.

passive progressive

Share definition
A term developed by Red Letter Media, referring specifically to a media company that celebrates liberal ideas (such as diversity, tolerance, or pro-LGBT rhetoric) exclusively when and where it benefits them but not going all in as to also profit from countries that censor those messages. This can be done in ways such as adding a pro-LGBT scene that can be easily edited out for the localization in China, Russia, or another country that would censor liberal messages.
Disney's decision to add two lesbians kissing on camera in The Rise of Skywalker was endearing, but ultimately a passive progressive tactic since the scene was edited out in China and Russia.

Coca-cola's decision to support the end of Apartheid in South Africa appeared passive progressive to many detractors. Until, that is, they pulled all holdings out of South Africa - sacrificing profits to stand in solidarity with the protestors.

1. Matt was being so passive-impressive when he told us he felt like a total dipshit after realizing he had spinach in his teeth while he was talking to Colin Kaepernick at that party last night.
2. I hate when people tweet passive-impressive stuff like: “Gosh, I am really dragging ass today after running 30 miles before work."
