LIFTS stands for 'light is faster than sound'. It usually refers to a situation wherein someone looks like smart/intelligent/well-groomed person from afar, but when the said person is talked to, it comes to the realization that he/she is almost the polar opposite and you want to get away as soon and politely as possible.
During my coffiebreak, I approached a guy smartly dresses in stark white shirt and shine shoes and glasses. But when I started talking to him, he started to try and convince me that global warming was just a myth and 5G towers were causing the coronavirus. I tried to break away as quickly as I could, quoting that I left my laptop unlocked and had to go back urgently.
Man, that was a bad LIFTS situation.
