Half Read

When someone only reads half of something. Especially annoying during texting, leading to much confusion and miscommunication. Those jaded by this resort to phone calls for major planning, but this can be heavily resisted by introverts. They will not answer and then respond with a text, thus beginning a vicious cycle.
Bro #1: "Where you at?"
Bro #2: "At home chillin. What's up?"
Bro #1: "You're supposed to be picking me up for the game! -_-"
Bro #2: *rereads texts* My bad bro. I half read. Be there in 30.

Beach Read

A literary novel that is deeply rooted in the beach house/town. The setting is almost a character in the book. Usually someone is at a crossroads in their life and they find a new path forward through their time at the beach.

A good Beach read takes the pace of summer at the beach - it has twists and turns, axillary characters woven throughout, parallel plot devices, and often a love story in the mix too.
The Beach Read is the perfect novel to accompany one during the holiday to the beach.

Sign read bait

Type of sign indicating non-entry to a property. It kinda troll you with a clever phrase, and also the images I found on google shows a weird thing of Zombie bait. But, meh, personally, I think are signs that put away, unsucessfuly, the drunky kids of the grass.
