actually

The most overused adverb I've ever heard. Used by those whose vocabularies lack adverbs. How annoying.
Girl: Actually, it goes like this. You actually go to school, where you actually get to make out with this actually cute guy. Then you actually get to know his name, actually hook up with him on friendster... (ad infinitum)

Damn, Ken. She's actually... kinda cute.

(meme) A phrase one bro says to another to indicate that he is attracted to a chick in a nonchalant manor. It can also be a game in which one bro guesses what girl the other is referring to while in public with multiple women around them.
Bro: Damn, Ken. She's actually... kinda cute.
Brah: Hmmm, the blonde? Or that brunette in the pink over there?
Bro: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

love actually

a movie about how love actually is everywhere around us even though our world is precieved as a world of hatred. about how so many people are afraid to fly on air plaines since 9/11 and how airports are the place where you can always find love. for example at the baggage claim when u meet up with a loved one you always see hugs and kisses and nice things going around. how on 9ll all the calls from on board the plaine sertantly werent calls of hate they were calls of love. the movie also had a lot of really cute quotes. it follows many peoples love stories including the ones from a prime minister to people who double in porn scenes in movies. i loved this movie tho it was a little confusing to keep it all strait
((when mark talks to his step son about whats wrong and why hes been locking himself in his room and his son says its cuz hes in love))
"im relieved... it could be so much worse"
"worse? you think their are things that are worse then the total agony of being in love?"

Well yes, but actually no

A phrase often used to point out instances of technicality, ambiguity, or hypocrisy.

1. A technicality. The meaning of the phrase in this context is "well yes, technically you are correct about superficial elements, but actually no, you are wrong about the substance in some way that invalidates the premise."

2. Ambiguity. The meaning of the phrase in this context is "well yes, some elements of this that have merit, but actually no, there are further details that must be considered."

3. Hypocrisy. The meaning of the phrase in this context is "well yes, I will say something to you to temporarily satisfy you, but actually no, my true actions will go against what I've said."
