Bear killer

In social media, 'stand' often means to show support for an issue or person, like when someone posts a black square during the Black Lives Matter movement just to say they’re on board, without explaining why they're there

At work, when a manager says 'we need to kill this meeting', they’re really pushing for efficiency, trying to get rid of anything that slows things down and keeps the team focused on getting stuff done

In relationships, when someone says 'I’m just trying to get through the day without thinking about you', they’re talking about emotional distance, trying to stay strong but still letting out a bit of how they really feel

Among older generations, 'stan' has this funny twist,they use it to show they get what’s going on with Gen Z, like when a grandpa says he’s 'stanning' TikTok trends to prove he’s keeping up with the kids

In humor, 'kill' gets a new life when someone says they ‘killed the vibe’ with their joke, like they accidentally turned a cozy get-together into a cringey moment with one too many punchlines
