Savoir faire

Literally - Know how to do

Usually used, as most French terms - je ne sais pas, ennui, to describe that certain something that is beyond normal language.
Nowdays it is often referred to (incorrectly) as X-factor
However Savior faire suggests a certain style, accomplishment and refinement. A person who has Savoir faire is naturally suave and classy, or has the innate abiilty to do or say the right thing at the right time.

The great Irish wit, Oscar Wilde, has considered to have Savoir faire, although he probably would have said that he was more Laisser faire (i.e. lazy, disinterested or libertine)

or in a more modern context;
The actor George Clooney can be said to have Savoir faire

Get the Savoir faire mug.

Sadboi

A sadboi uses his sadness (feigned or actual) as an excuse to behave like a fuckboy. He's like a fuckboy but he covers it up by being "in touch" with his emotions and by being self-deprecating. Claims he's very aware of his flaws and is "working on them," but (and this is key) never actually fixes them.

Girl: Hey, how are you doing?

Sadboi: I know I have a lot of commitment issues and anxieties I'm actively trying to work on and that's why I cant commit to you right now but I would like to continue fucking and doing mundane relationship things for as long as I see convenient.

Girl: ????
