Fox host Maria Bartiromo just complained to Eric Trump about Biden's 5th trip home to Delaware.

Eric -"I don't even know where to begin. It's heartbreaking to us. I saw how much time & effort my father put into the job."

That line is funnier than anything from last night's SNL.

Can only imagine gusts of laughter if a Navy captain claimed their vessel "grounded due to strong wind".

To rephrase, assuming winds were as forecast: "vessel grounded to due to inadequate risk assessment of effects of high winds on the handling of the ship in a narrow channel."

Two larger tugs enroute.
They are still blaming wind.
Crew safe and working.

The struggle is real. Here are 24 words and phrases that you might need defined.

24 millennials phrases that no one else gets

https://t.co/QXMFldGC14?amp=1

Snip
Woke
This incorrect tense of "awake" is used in the phrase "stay woke" as well as to describe whether someone is paying attention to political and social events or aware of certain truths. For example, a man conscious of the glass ceiling and gender pay gap for women is "woke." "Get woke" can be used as an admonishment for someone who is ignorant and needs to educate himself properly about a topic.


Respek
First introduced into the lexicon in 2016 by rapper Birdman during rap radio show "The Breakfast Club," "respek" is a slang spelling of the word "respect." It can be used alone or as part of Birdman's original usage in the phrase "put some respek on my name," meaning to show someone respect.

Canceled
Predominantly used in the past tense, "canceled" is used to describe someone or something that you've rejected, deleted or cut out of your life. For example, your friend could ask you if you are still dating someone, to which you could reply, "No, they're canceled."

Thirst trap
"Thirst" or "being thirsty" is a way to describe lusting after someone, usually desperately. This slang birthed another phrase, "thirst trap," used to describe photos a person posts on social media. A thirst trap is a photo that people post with either the obvious or subtle intention of getting others to lust after them and post comments that boost their ego.
