translation shaming

When your teacher in English lessons says, that your translation is never that accurate and you could do better.

I gave her a thousand definitions and translations to the word "Hello", but she says that it's not enough! Goddamn translation shaming((

Lampardian Transition

The act of conversing light-heartedly but then shifting quickly to a much more serious tone.

The Lampardian Transition usually starts as an (often bad) joke, but then instantly changes to a much more serious subject.

Here’s an example:
“So then the shopkeeper said that I looked like Baby Yoda, but no seriously my wife left me.”

Lost in BBM Translation

When a BBM can be misinterpreted for reasons being but not limited to: one of the words used has multiple meanings, verbal inflection and affect is often absent over BBM, possible misuse of an emoticon or exclamation mark, or because of incorrect capitalization of a word. It happens when you're bbming with someone and realize that what you wrote was interpreted to mean the exact opposite of what you are trying to convey after the person responds in an unforseen tone. It can often lead to finding something funnier or more serious than the message should be or can possibly result in crazy frustration.

Girl 1 told Vman that he did the right thing by choosing to pursue things with girl 2 instead of her. However, girl 1 meant "right" to mean rational/more moral, but not to mean correct/more suitable, because she knows that she is so much better for him, more compatible, more amazing, and his true love. Girl 1 realized that what she meant was lost in BBM Translation after Vman responded in a displeased tone and thought what she wrote meant that she was already over him.
