I thought Texas was supposed to be hot

(from folklore)
when someone is glowing brighter than the sun, the sun in this galaxy gets jealous and turns off. the world remains lit by the new star's glorious rays. the only place there is detectable change is in Texas, where the temperature drops dramatically. and so everyone's all 'what I thought Texas was supposed to be hot!' as in 'a new, brighter, more powerful star has been born.'

damn juul pod, you see that shot of Mel @ her new PAYING job?? I thought Texas was supposed to be hot

My heart dropped, am I supposed to know this?

Definition: This phrase is commonly used when you want to express that you do not recognize something.

Background: Two 8th graders spoke to FOX 5 NY's Jodi Goldberg about a state-required Earth and Space Science exam they took which they believed was unfair. One of them, Samuel Tae exclaimed: "My Heart Dropped, am I supposed to know this?" The other student, Andy Ryoo, told Goldberg, "The test felt like a reading comprehension test, one of the questions was about toll payments - weather wasn't covered, which is a huge topic, and we spent months on it."

"Yo my bro, this morning, I saw the new guy and my heart dropped, I was like, am I supposed to know this guy?"
"Yo bro, this test was lowkey kinda buns tho, like my heart dropped, am I supposed to know this?"

You are not supposed to be able to see this

I cannot contact you in any way and, therefore, cannot threaten you with anything here.

Hym "I have not threatened anyone as you are not supposed to be able to see this. I am nit communicating with you in any way shape or form and if YOU are communicating with ME or interacting with THIS it is EXPLICITLY INTENDED to mirror the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia and is done explicitly as a form of cooperative gaslighting and harassment AND your ability to do so is contingent on a surveillance apparatus set up around me by people who have no authority to do so. If it was a crime you would be taking me to court. Therefore, you must get more out of this than you would taking me to court. You will submit to legal recourse or I will murder a child. I was also fired while striking so that is cool. Ummm. Yeah. Chop chop. I'm going to be a lot less sympathetic to people who advocated for the continuation of a bizarre and cruel violation of my rights and the theft of my property the longer this continues and I agree to NO CONDITIONS until I've been credit and paid in accordance with my contributions. Die today please."

Supposably

Acceptable word replacement for "Supposedly", as we recently learned from the oxford dictionary.

Supposably the hot sauce was enough for 16 tacos but Adrian used it all on 3 of his.

A popular phrase used on social media about a song that flopped/didn't do very well. The poster will liken the song to Sabrina Carpenter's smash hit "Espresso" which catapulted her career. Often times this is used sarcastically or ironically to a refer to an even bigger hit single.

OP: *posts video of Nicki Minaj Super Bass*
Caption: this was supposed to be her espresso
Comment: baby this was the coffee bean delete this

Supposed rose

A person that is a supposed rose is a person that may have anxiety, that's quiet, or is shy; especially in social situations. They may seem to be rude or may come off as an arrogant snob, a thorn on a rose. But they're not. They are a supposed rose.

Man, I used to think she was a jerk, but she's a supposed rose.
