Happy Hump Day!
To think I only recently learnt what it means😅 because I was too ashamed to admit I didn't know what it meant!!!
Are there any other commonly used phrases that you don't know what they mean but you're too embarrassed to ask? Ask away in the comments!😁

The only reason I even know hump day is because of an old commercial with a camel! Not so much a phrase, but for some reason most of my adult life I thought approximately meant exactly. Always thought people used it incorrectly, but just within the last few years learned that it’s more round about then exactly. 😅

Oh my! I can imagine your brain when you learnt you had actually been using it incorrectly🤣

Haha too relatable! This isn't me personally, but I have a high school friend who somehow got it into their head that "also" means "or else." "I really need my paycheck to clear, also I won't be able to pay rent."

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
