Get the oh okaymug. 
sometimes it’s okay to be a bit selfish and there will be times over the next 12 months when you really must put your own interests first no matter what that might mean for other people. What you do for yourself will benefit them too later on

Get the sometimes it’s okay to be a bit selfish and there will be times over the next 12 months when you really must put your own interests first no matter what that might mean for other people. What you do for yourself will benefit them too later onmug. 1) A really stupid phrase affixed to the start of any sentence that Gen Z people like to say nowadays. In normal English, one would typically start with "okay but..." as a response towards someone that they disagree with (e.g. okay but that doesn't mean... etc). However, as a conversation starter it makes absolutely no fucking sense. Anyone who uses "okay but" in this manner will suffer from brain cell loss.
2) A lazy indifferent response to convey that you disagree with someone. Used when you're too lazy to refute their point, or if they were trolling or being goofy to start with. Similar to the phrase "Ok and?"

Get the okay butmug. This word was, in ancient times, used to non aggressively agree to something and strike a soft bargain. It meant also that you understood the terms.
Now... it literally just means whatever you need or want it to mean regardless of whether you define your parameters of acceptance and involvement, or just wanted to let your crush know how you feel.

"....so in conclusion, the finite fluctuations of the photons prove that while visible to us, the observable color spectrum of energetic frequencies ARE NOT in a state of quantum flux whist they are observed!! Do you agree Doctor?
"...okay."
"...okay."
