Cutting it fine

Cutting it fine" is a British English idiom that means to have a very tight margin or little time/space for something. It implies that something is being done with a narrow or slight margin, as if it is close to failure.

Mask fines

Another way for authorities to make money, kind of like charging somebody with trespassing for going to a store and shopping (because they didnt have on a mask), and nothing more.
Mask fines are another way to collect money from somebody you want to put out on the street. Telling people something will end quickly is a good way to condition them into being compliant robots for when the next orders and guidelines come out, that way theres no fighting, people think it's normal because it has been for a weeks or months, and they're told it's the new normal. Theres nothing normal about a group/entity trying to take control of everyone else's lives, that's a step toward a totalitarian government.

medium fine

When someone's closer to being fine than being ugly. Just how a medium-well steak is closer to being well-done than being rare

I'm fine.

Girls use this often because they think it's easier to say "I'm fine" then everything that's not. So when a girl reply with "I'm fine" just ask another time if they are sure bc they are probably not fine.
