After five long years, you finally catch up with your cousin. He’s casually chilling on the couch, reading a magazine. When you ask how he’s been, he gives you a smug look and says, “I’m doing better than you.” He repeats this, then sarcastically says, “No, no, no, I’m joking.” But he keeps repeating it. You start to feel bad about yourself.
Example : You: “Hey man, it’s been a while. Long time no see! What have you been up to in life?”
Cousin: “…………I’m doing better than you………..No I’m not………..Yes I am”
Cousin: “…………I’m doing better than you………..No I’m not………..Yes I am”

Get the Betterer mug.Explaining to someone (usually a member of the LGBTQ+ community who is at the beginning of their "coming out" journey) that "it gets better." This could be perceived as patronizing, particularly when offered by someone who doesn't seem to have their life together, but it is well-intentioned.
A reference to the It Gets Better Project storytelling campaign which has helped thousands of LGBTQ+ young people. Used in the HBO Max show, "The Sex Lives of College Girls"

"I'm just calling to check in on you. I could tell you're in a really bad place and I just wanted to say that it gets better."
"Oh my god, are you "it gets bettering" me? Yeah, no, I'm fine. You drive a Ford Windstar. You get better."
