🔘 Outkick Your Coverage
◻️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.

🔘 Leg Day
◻️Workouts specializing on a person's legs
In the fitness world, leg day is when a person focuses all their exercise workouts on their lower body. This includes exercises regarding calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
Origin of leg day

As social media expanded in the 2010s, "leg day" entered the wider public's lexicon, although fitness enthusiasts typically use it. Examples of when people use the phrase include making fun of top-heavy people on TikTok who obviously skipped leg day or sharing mirror-reflection selfies on Twitter bragging about your legs' physique.

🔘Sorority Squat
◻️Hands-on-knees, butt-out group photo pose
The sorority squat is a pose that sorority girls (effortlessly and without fail) adopt in group photos. Specifically, to do the sorority squat means to bend your knees slightly, place your hands on them, and pop out your butt, while simultaneously smiling for the camera.
Sorority girls began adopting this pose to allow them to vary their heights, making it easier to fit dozens or even hundreds of sisters within the same picture. Over time, though, the sorority squat became sorority girls' default, accepted group photo pose. Now, even when only two or three sisters feature in a photo, they're likely to assume the sorority squat.
Whenever anyone other than a college-aged female attempts to perform the sorority squat, they typically look ridiculous. So if you're reading this and thinking you might adopt the sorority squat in your next group photo, you may want to reconsider.
❓Example
"Ohmygod, I think I just pulled my back doing that sorority squat. Guess I'm not as young as I used to be."

🔘 Crush
◻️A person who is the object of someone's affection
A crush is someone you have romantic feelings for, such as a cute schoolmate, attractive co-worker, or likable celebrity. People may also use it as a verb, as in "George has a crush on Juanita."
Where does crush come from?
There are various claims to the origins of crush. One of the most prominent explanations is that it comes from the late 19th century as a variation of "mash," which was common slang for flirting at the time.
Crush gained popularity through the 20th century and people still commonly use it in the 21st century. For example, if your friend is flirting with someone, you might tease them that they have a new crush.
Characterstics of a crush
Attraction is very subjective. A person may develop a crush on someone based on their appearance, mannerisms, personality, profession, etc. However, a crush typically is a temporary infatuation with someone you just met or don't know well. Once you get to know the person, the crush feeling wears off, and you move towards love, friendship, or disillusionment (in some cases).
❓Example
Are you finally gonna talk to your crush during lunch.
Probs not. Too scary.

Minecraft gamers created the term based on the stalker aspects of the mob that resemble socially invasive creepers in real life. If you use creeper with non-Minecraft gamers, they will probably think you're referring to the socially awkward people they know.
❓Example
