To feel hatred towards a person who you feel has more than you and a better life. I think people learn to envy by watching all these rap videos and kim kardisian bullshit. You program your subconcious to feel this envy in your heart. For example if you watch rich and famous people all day and you come into the presence of one and they show you how they live you would feel intimidated and ashamed for nothing. People who brag have low self esteem. Learn to imagine your self in the mind instead of thinking about how rich Justin Bieber is and what he has and meet him and he'll envy you for being strong not like most of his kick ass fans and fake friends who prey on him to get money
I envy her she has a sexy boyfriend

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
