Bro: "Yo Delta Chi is throwing again tonight, you been cranky af lately, we're getting you your nut tonight"
You: " Eh, man we partied all week I actually made plans to get up early and hike with that girl I like. I might stay in this time"
Bro: "Dude stop being such a pussy. You only live one life, you need to live it to the fullest and not leave me hanging"
You (mumbling under your breath): "Why am I friends with this Fomo Fascist?" (As you reach for your axe spray and button down with your tail between your legs).
