The typical fuckboy

If you're a woman with a strong personality, calling you a 'bossy' might come off as a bit condescending, but if you're a man in the same situation, people are more likely to call you a 'take-charge type' or just 'leader' without blinking an eye

You might hear your grandpa call your girlfriend his 'better half' as a sweet way to show he's fond of her, but if your best friend says the same about their partner, it can start feeling like they're trying to make a statement about their relationship

On TikTok, saying something is 'extra' can be a joke, like a way to poke fun at someone being too dramatic or showy, but if you're using it in a real-life argument, especially in a tight-knit group, it can come across as a serious insult and might even start a rift between people

If a white person calls themselves 'woke,' it can feel like they're trying too hard, like they're competing for a prize in a social justice game, but if a person of color says the same thing, people usually take it as just them being honest and aware of what's going on around them

Calling someone 'a piece of work' in front of their friends might sound like you're just giving them a nickname, but if that person is in a vulnerable spot,like going through a breakup or job hunt,they might take it as a real jab and start feeling like you're trying to put them down
