Microlife: A monotonous, minimal existence characterized by a dead-end or absent job, no partner, no family, no children—often living at home with parents—filled with boredom, depression,loneliness, and a sense of being stuck, with no clear path forward

Example: He worked a minimum-wage job, lived at home with his parents, had no partner, and every day was filled with depression and boredom—a prime example of a microlife.
Lee: Bruv, I feel really depressed lately. All I do is go to work, pay my bills. I can’t even afford a car. LOL.

Frank: Bruv, I think you’ve got a microlife, bruv.

Lee: Innit, bruv. LOL.

Frank: LOL.

microsite 

Male, Female, Microsite
I was shopping on Asos and I was trying to define my option list and under the section gender was the following options; Male, Female, Microsite and therefore I would like to know what Microsite means in this context. I'm fully aware of its general meaning which is basically an individual website, area or entity within a major thing. I hope that makes sense.

As it was on Asos I thought it best to turn to Urban Dictionary as I know the Oxford dictionary would not satisfy its true urban meaning. In all fearless I may have already answered my own question while typing this which is to say that the meaning of Microsite may refer to people who do not identify themselves with any particular gender. I look forward to your thoughts.

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!
