I’m fine 

The most told lie in the English language. Used when someone is, in fact, not fine, but drowning in their sadness. They say ‘I’m fine’ because they don’t want to worry anyone with their problems, and it’s easier than explaining what’s wrong.
person 1 : how are you, you look upset?
person 2 : oh, I’m fine thanks, just tired
person 2 is not fine.
I’m tired - tired of living, tired of fighting, tired of waking up everyday to fight a constant battle going on inside their head.

Commonly used when a person is feeling down or depressed but doesn't wish to be a burden on any of their friends or family.

This is one of the most told lies in the english language other than 'Yes my room is clean'

This term can also be subsituted by 'I'm just a little tired'
Person 1: Hey, how are you? You seem down
Person 2: I'm fine, just a little tired

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
