Living My Best Life

A stupid phrase that is used, commonly on Instagram, to give the false reality that you can wake up and choose which "life" you want to live. Perhaps you want to be a lazy dog, or a human facing the challenge of whether to have avocado on toast or a green smoothie for breakfast. Either way, it's got to be the best (breakfast) life you could possibly be living.

Living Rent Free

A metaphorical and rather elusive phrase which is used to describe having obsessive thoughts over another person or group (usually followed by 'in my head').

The elusive part, imo, comes from the phrase's seeming implication that someone wants to live inside your head, as in they wanted you to think about them, when it's often the opposite case (i.e. you obsess about them and they don't know/it wasn't their plan).

So when I say "Jake is living rent-free in Sally's mind", it doesn't imply that Jake has successfully enamoured Sally with his charm. What it really means is that Jake is unaware that he is the object of obsession in Sally's mind. But since Jake is unaware, his pov becomes nullified and therefore defaults to Sally's pov ("Sally is obsessed with Jake"). This phrase 𝘤𝘢𝘯 be used to imply that Jake had successfully infatuated Sally, however most people tend to use it for its inverse meaning. It can also be used for someone beyond just your crush, such as someone who hates you.

Just shining some light on the hidden logic behind this phrase, which some people might find confusing (e.g. me).

Rust Teammate 2: We just pulled off a massive raid on one of the most heavily fortified bases, and we destroyed it to smithereens!

Rust Teammate 1: Damn! nice!! I guess we must be living rent-free in those team's heads now, hahaha.

Living at work

To have a long shift for the day that doesn't allow for much, or any leisure time after-wards before going to sleep.

Mother: I thought you'd never call me back. Everything OK?

Son: Yeah, I'm sorry. My partner Steve has been sick the past few days. I've been living at work this week, but I'll have off on Monday and Tuesday again.

Italian living room

An attached garage with a couch and a recliner in it. Usually the garage door is open. The Italian living room is used because the real living room is plastic wrapped and only for special occasions.

I drove through my neighborhood, and Joe and luanna waved from inside their Italian living room.
