The Struggle Box

During times of pure incompetence, ineffectiveness, or stupidity, this refers to how much a person is struggling with a given situation, or possibly with life in general. The more intense the struggle, the deeper they are in the box.

guy 1: "dude, i couldn't get it up last night and she totally bailed on me."
guy 2: "bro, you're deep in the struggle box."

watching a completely hammered girl attempt a lap dance, then proceeds to vomit, one might say:
bystander: "wow, she's DEEP in the struggle box!"

The Struggle Is Real

A reassuring phrase you offer to a person whom is under the influence of marijuana and struggling at a task due to being seriously high. The phrase signifies that you understand what they are dealing with and are not judging them for being to high to function properly and that they are free to be themselves ensuring good "vibes". It can also be used at times for a friend whom is uncomfortably stoned and they need to lay down or put both head phones in, stating that they're not being weird and that their "struggle" is indeed "real" and that you respect that.

Dude 1: holding bong "Damn man I'm to stoned to hold this bowl"
Dude 2: couch locked next to him "The struggle is real man, the struggle is real"

Dude 1: Stammering and laughing at a drive through ordering mic
*pull away from mic*
Dude 1: "I totally fucked that up"
Dude 2: "The struggle is real man"
