Olive989's definitions
A girl who got stuck on a really hellish date, because a guy thought she owed him after giving her food.
With all the meat and fiery pits down here, you'd think the King of Hell would have at least summoned me some kind of chargrilled burger. But no. He gave me a piece of fruit that's like 90% seed. Of all the things that could've kept me down here...This seems like a particularly shitty deal.

(4.) A particular method or approach, to learning or doing something.
(1.) If you take the strictest definition of road vs. street…A street is supposed to imply buildings and addresses, either public or private. And a road is supposed to emphasize a means of travel.
(This gets kind of confusing and weird when you consider people live on both streets and roads. However, you’ll notice a highway is never called a street. It’s always a road.)
(2.) The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(3.) Veins are like the local roads of the human body. Arteries are like major highways. And blood vessels are like small residential streets.
(4.) (A.) The road to Michael’s heart, is his stomach. Better work on that Lasagna.
(B.) The road to learning, isn’t the same for anybody. The most effective teachers tap into their students’ individual motivations and learning styles.

Get the Roadmug. I think it's interesting we chose popcorn as our food of entertainment, when it's the only food we've got that purposefully explodes over and over again. Especially when it's made old fashioned style, on a stove with a clear lid....It's like watching corn fireworks.

Get the Corn Fireworksmug. (1.) Strength in the face of overwhelming odds. A byproduct of the belief that there is something better out there. Something worth hoping for...in this life or the next.
(2.) The ability to consider the motivations of other people, and not just the content of what they say or do (good or bad).
(2.) The ability to consider the motivations of other people, and not just the content of what they say or do (good or bad).
(1). Many people who lack resilience are not "weak". They are just lost. I know what it is to be lost.
(2). When insulted or flattered, many people get lost in their self-consciousness or only consider the content of what is said. Considering why people speak and act the way they do is far more important and shields you from a lot of harm and unwise decisions. This creates a form of resilience.

Get the Crotch minglemug. (1.) An asinine term said by fucked up authority figures, who think age should trump critical thinking, common sense, honest dialogue, or any sense of reasonableness.
There's a reason no adult accuses another adult of "talking back". It's as stupid as accusing a bird of chirping. If an adult wants to tell another adult they're being disrespectful, they use the term, "talking smack."
"Talking back" in contrast, is just the natural response anyone should expect, when they direct their words at another person. If someone does not wish to have a response to the things they are saying, furniture, inanimate objects, and non-human animals are available.
(2.) An adult example of regression, in which age is used as an excuse to not give an adult response, and instead basically tell someone to shut up.

Person A: Stop talking back to me sunny boy!

Get the Talking Backmug. (1.) A word someone uses, whenever there's a hard (but simple) reality in front of them, they don't want to face.
Things that are genuinely/inherently complicated, are called, "complex". (You'll notice nobody refers to their relationship status as "complex", because deep down even they know they're lying to themselves. )
(2.) A synonym for "None of your business".

(1.) He says he doesn't want a relationship right now, because he's got a lot going on. His direct response and terrible excuse make things so complicated. Ugh. Whatever will I do with these obscure words shrouded in mystery?

Person B: "Maybe another time Jerry. It's complicated."
