🔘 Outkick Your Coverage



What does outkick your coverage mean?


◻️To have a romantic partner who is much more attractive than you
Outkick your coverage is a phrase that refers to when you are dating someone who is much more attractive than you. The phrase comes from American football - in which a punter may kick a ball too far down the field, past his coverage team, allowing the opposing player who receives the ball to slip through gaps in the coverage. When used in a romantic sense, the phrase implies you managed to snatch up a person who is "out of your league."
The person who is "out of your league" may be more physically attractive, have a better personality, or have more money than you. They may also possess a combination of all those traits. When someone says you outkicked your coverage, it's not necessarily meant as a dis. It may, in fact, be a compliment on your ability to snag an appealing partner.



❓Example

Is that your wife?
Yep.
Wow, you sure outkicked your coverage!
I know, I'm a lucky man.

🔘 AAVE



What is AAVE?


◻️African-American Vernacular English


AAVE is "African-American Vernacular English," which is American English spoken with vocabulary, accent, and grammatical traits unique to African-Americans. As cultural awareness has progressed, AAVE has become a hot-button issue, highlighting the appropriation of the dialect as slang by non-Black communities to sound cooler.

Where does AAVE come from?

There is no clear consensus among linguistic professionals as to where AAVE originated. Some believe it traces back to English-based creole language variants from the 17th century. Others believe it dates back to African captives brought to the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade.
It became prevalent in the Southern United States among African-American slaves leading up to the Civil War and persisted thereafter, evolving over time. Nowadays, it is commonly associated with working-class African-American urban communities, Hip-hop and rap artists, and Black professional athletes.

Modern usage of AAVE

Due to heightened awareness of racial tensions and disparities in the 2010s, AAVE has grown in usage. Part of the growth can be attributed to increased understanding that AAVE is a language dialect instead of a stereotypical sign of unintelligence.

AAVE has become more common in the "Woke" community, especially on social media to recognize and call out non-Black people appropriating AAVE to sound cool. Some have gone so far as to make a list of AAVE terms that non-Black people cannot use as slang. Terms include bussin, tea, doe, finna, and snatched. As you can imagine, this approach has been met with resistance.

What are other names for AAVE?

AAVE may be referred to by several names, some accurate and some controversial. It may be called Black English (BE), Black English Vernacular (BEV), or Black Vernacular English (BVE). Many Boomers refer to AAVE as Ebonics, which has become a controversial term.



❓Example

I'm not OK with Brad hijacking AAVE to sound cooler.
Wow, chill out, I didn't know you were part of the woke police.

What does manspreader mean?


◻️A guy who sits with his legs spread wide

A manspreader is a male who sits with his legs spread in a very wide stance. He is commonly seen on a subway, bus, airplane, and park bench.

Manspreaders may sound harmless but can wreak havoc in many ways. One of the biggest negatives of a manspreader is when space is at a premium, such as a busy restaurant or subway car, and his wide stance prevents others from sitting down. Public campaigns have been launched to increase awareness of this epidemic but many men have staunchly defended their position citing male biological reasons.


❓Example
These manspreaders have to be stopped! I counted at least 3 people that couldn't sit on the bench at the bus stop.

A bimbo is a female who is not very bright but attractive. It is commonly used to refer to a blonde woman who has a lot of beauty but no brains.

🔘 Poser


What does poser mean?


◻️A person who pretends to be someone they are not

A poser is a person who tries to fit into a group of people not because they actually like them but because they just want to be accepted into the group. Posers are most common in middle and high school when kids are searching for their identity and want to be accepted.

Posers try to integrate into a group of friends by learning the lingo, wearing specific types of clothing, and changing their mannerisms. Some examples of groups of people posers try to appear as are jocks, goth punks, skaters, theater kids, and brainiacs.

The term is typically seen as negative since it is used to call out people who "talk the talk," but don't necessarily "walk the walk." Most people can detect a poser trying to fit in so it's better to just be yourself, instead of pretend to be someone you are not.


❓Example
That guy looks like he's never even been on a skateboard, what a poser.
