People are always amazed by how words can do so many things. Just one word can mean lots of different stuff, especially when you say it in different ways.
Now there’s a cool Instagram account that’s taking words to a whole new level. It picks regular words and shows what they really mean, at least from someone’s point of view.
Some of these word meanings are so true that they just have to be shared around.
So true
Isn’t it interesting how things can change over time? As we get older, our perspective often shifts.
Ka-boom
If this is what that particular name means, then what’s become of the name “Barbie”?
Trust is a pretty big word
This is where you usually feel at ease to take care of your tasks, especially the essential ones.
Somehow they’re still cute
It’s annoying when this becomes a person. Call the pound.
Yippee for reunions
That one relative on the side drinking alone and away from everyone else is the one you should talk to.
Fine means…
Freaked out. Insecure. Neurotic. Emotional.
Stiff rules to follow
Traditions sometimes go beyond making sense, yet we still feel obligated to stick with them.
No one’s willing to listen anyway
Frequently, we use words that don’t really mean much. How many times have you said “I’m fine” when it couldn’t be further from the truth?
If love was ever irritating
There’s something unique about siblings, right? When the day winds down, you know they’ll have your back, but during those moments before, you can argue like, well, cats and dogs.
A long time ago, when they lived happily ever after
It’s amusing how, years or even centuries later, some people think they know exactly what an author was thinking when they wrote their words. Honestly, teacher, they really have no idea.
There’s always Google
Alternatively, you might simply desire to give the impression of possessing greater knowledge than you actually have. In such cases, it’s best to conclude the sentence and move on.
Insert awkward silence
I’ve come to the realization that you’re not thinking rationally, and engaging in this conversation is proving to be unproductive. “Alrighty, then” and “oh, okay” are essentially interchangeable expressions.
Insert blank angry look
The manner in which you convey the message is inconsequential. Whether you shout “never mind” or deliver it with a kindly grin, the underlying sentiment remains: “I believe you lack understanding.”
No cure for ignorance
Sure, let’s set aside any philosophical pondering. The situation you find yourself in is a result of your actions that led to this predicament.
Through thick or thin and lots of drinks
A genuine friend is recognized when they tolerate your nonsense and continue to stand by your side.
You definitely agree
I agree with this feeling. Being able to yawn, stretch, roll over, and go back to sleep instead of quickly getting out of bed is a really nice kind of happiness.
Says every stressed person ever
I experience this almost every day. Tonight, I’m convinced I’ll actually go to bed at a reasonable hour. Yeah, right.
There’s no “I” in team
Being in a partnership comes with its own set of distinct challenges. However, with effort, you can ideally resolve them together.
If that’s your partner, run
I wonder how many people with certain traits are reading this? Because it appears to be established – you’re acting quite irrational.
Stuff’s usually rotten too
I understand this situation well. I notice myself checking Instagram multiple times each day. Maybe I should reduce the frequency.
K means ka-boom too
Absolutely right. That brief “k” can carry a significant amount of anger, but it’s not limited to that. Its meaning depends on the tone it’s delivered with.
They usually act like know-it-alls anyway
We’ve all encountered individuals like this, haven’t we? If you genuinely don’t want my opinion, then please refrain from asking for it.
And you look older
It really annoys me when people say this. Why not just stay quiet?
Or leaning in for a kiss and getting rejected
Or, waving back at someone who wasn’t actually waving at you. Attempting a hug when they’ve extended a hand for a shake. Oops!
When? Where? What time? Hello? Hello??
This can also serve as a polite way to brush someone off, unintentionally though. Because you never actually plan for it to occur.
Use the force
However, it could also be a way to keep things confidential. You wouldn’t want to accidentally reveal something you don’t want others to overhear.
Do the numbers in your head
This is why I’m a writer and not someone who deals with numbers like an accountant. Because this statement is absolutely accurate.
And… it’s Monday
Well, even the most carefully thought-out plans can sometimes go awry, don’t they? You intend to make good use of your time.
It’s a beautiful mistake
That Lay’s commercial says, “I bet you can’t eat just one,” for a reason. Because many of us find it hard to stop at just one.
Congratulations to my ex
Strive to improve yourself. Put in the effort to reach your goals.
