Crisis

An overused word. Not everything that is called a crisis really is. The coronavirus is not the bubonic plague, yet the media treats it as the same kind of thing so that everybody will panic and lose their minds.

Not everybody needed support the way thee bubbly girl did, after all, not everybody lived their life like it was a crisis, or tried to make everyone else's life a crisis, or add another setback to their life for them to overcome.

Bidentity crisis

When a bisexual person starts dating someone new and has an identity crisis about whether they are straight or gay, when really, they are bisexual.

"When I was dating Erica, I felt like a lesbian, but now that I'm dating Scott, I feel like a fake gay!" said the girl who is a 3 on the Kinsey scale. Her friends who were 0s and 6s on the Kinsey scale did not understand. Later she realized she was having a bidentity crisis, and she was in fact, not a gay or a "fake gay", but just a normal bisexual.

Crisy

The definition of tol, dark, and beautiful, with fabulous hair and good fashion sense. Is initially quiet and very intimidating due to her resting bitch face armor, which she wears when going into the daily battle of social interactions with her peers. But underneath it she’s a sweet, kind, and caring—if not a tad awkward—person who is an insanely awesome and loyal friend. She’s a mad genius when it comes to intellectual pursuits and works harder than your boomer grandpa who pulled himself up by the bootstraps. Is well-practiced in the art of savagery; be cautious when engaging in banter with her. Her masterful and witty comebacks have earned her the moniker Crispy, a reference to the way she thoroughly roasts any poor sap attempting to best her.

Whoa dude, how’d you get those third-degree burns? Ohh, you crossed Crisy. It all makes sense now

Damn is that Crisy? You think she’ll accept my househusband application?

Grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis

A way for some folks to claim that if you donate enough money, morale will get better.

The people claiming to be morale boosters were making a lot of money off the grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis, but would be quick to try and tear morale apart again if they needed more money for another grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis.
