Touch Grass

An insult telling someone they are chronically online and need to disconnect from the internet and experience the real world.

Dating & Relationships

Situationship

More than a friendship, less than a relationship. High confusion, zero commitment. A true emotional rollercoaster. (Use our Situationship Clarifier to survive it).

Red Flag

A warning sign of toxic behavior. Example: Saying 'I'm not like other guys' or refusing to share their screen.

Love Bombing

When someone overwhelms you with affection, gifts, and attention early on, only to manipulate or ghost you later. Major toxic ex behavior.

Ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.

Breadcrumbing

Sending out flirtatious, but non-committal messages to keep someone's interest alive without any intention of taking things further.

Gaslighting

A manipulation tactic where someone makes you question your own memory, perception, or sanity. 'You're crazy, that never happened.'

Trauma Dumping

Unloading all your deep emotional baggage onto someone unprompted, usually very early in a relationship.

Cuffing Season

The cold months of the year when people who usually prefer to be single suddenly want to be in a relationship to survive the winter.

DTR (Define The Relationship)

Fumble

When you had a great person or a great opportunity, but you ruined it through your own stupidity.

Aura & Energies

Aura Points

An imaginary score of your cool factor. You gain aura points for a smooth comeback, you lose aura points for tripping in public. (Our AI can literally calculate this).

Vibe Check

An assessment of someone's energy or attitude. If you fail the vibe check, you're officially bad vibes.

Golden Retriever Energy

Sweet, loyal, energetic, and easily excited. Usually the perfect match for a 'Black Cat' personality.

Soulmate Profile

The exact energy and aesthetic of the person you are cosmically meant to be with. (Upload your selfie to find yours).

Beige Flag

A trait that isn't inherently good or bad, just weird. Like someone who sets their alarms to 7:03 instead of 7:00.

Green Flag

A positive indicator in a person. Example: They go to therapy, they text back fast, they like animals.

Pink Flag

A minor warning sign that isn't quite a red flag yet, but you definitely need to keep an eye on it.

Brutal Zodiac Roasts

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

You treat every minor inconvenience like a declaration of war. Stop yelling, we are literally at a grocery store.

Your love language is taking naps and refusing to compromise. You aren't 'protecting your peace', you're just stubborn.

Two personalities, zero focus. Will leave you on read for 3 days and then reply with a TikTok like nothing happened.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

Crying because someone used a period at the end of their text message. The ultimate emotional manipulators (respectfully).

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Judging everyone while their own life is held together by iced coffee and a color-coded Notion template they never use.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

Flirts with the barista, the mailman, and a wall. Cannot make a decision to save their life.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Thinks having a god complex and ghosting people makes them 'mysterious'. You aren't an alien, you just need therapy.
