cough break

It's a cliche that defense lawyers signal their testifying clients they are giving a bad answer by coughing.

When a client starts giving bad but usually truthful answers, their lawyer may start coughing harder and harder to create a cough break.

It's so common that judges will warn defense lawyers about a cough break.

Donald Trump's chief of staff Mick Mulvaney used a cough break to signal Trump "hey, shut up about possibly releasing your tax returns."

first break up

your first breakup will be the hardest to get over. it will hurt the most and will have you questioning yourself everyday. thinking “were they really the one” or “why don’t they love me”. your first breakup will drive you crazy, it will tear your heart into a million pieces. every song you hear and every object you see will some how remind you of them. you will cry. a lot. it will be tough

your first break up will have you crying in your bed for a week wearing sweatpants
