In love

On social media, when someone says they're 'in love', it usually means they're showing off a new relationship with pictures of their partner and heartfelt captions, kind of like a digital wedding announcement without the actual ceremony

At work, 'in love' can be code for someone who's really passionate about their job, especially if they start talking about their projects like they're personal achievements, which might make their colleagues roll their eyes at the over-the-top enthusiasm

In teen slang, being 'in love' sometimes just means you've got a crush, even if you haven't met the person yet, and it's totally normal to say you're in love with someone just because you saw their face on a poster or in a song lyric

Among older generations, 'in love' often means something serious, like you're ready to get married or at least start talking about the future, and if you say it casually, you might get asked when you're going to set a date or meet the parents

In comedy, being 'in love' can be a funny contrast when it happens to someone who's totally mismatched or in an absurd situation, like if a grumpy old man says he's in love with a robot, and it's supposed to be both sweet and ridiculous at the same time
