What does 'lock in' mean in this situation?
Yours faithfully,
a confused Brit.
Stiff upper lip old chap!
God, it's like none of you speak Brit.
I see it as Stay Focused
Steady on.
Buck up. Suck it up. Maintain an even strain. I get it.
👍
Gen Z slang for saying "get it together and focus"
Ok... So maybe this is a dumb question, but is it helpful to hear that when you're having a hard time?
i think it could be, depending upon circumstances. likewise, i think it could also be actively harmful (depending upon circumstances).
And personality type.
Ah ok, thanks.
Where I'm from a lock in is a pub illegally serving drinkers after time by locking the doors.
Lock ins were all night parties for kids when I was growing up. Parents in 80s USA, wow.
Usually in churches right?
libraries sometimes too. basically an overnight in a non-residential space?
Traditionally, to be "locked in" on something would mean to be locked in on your target, goal, etc.
Telling someone to lock in or "lock it in" is kind of like a nice way of saying "get your shit together" or "focus up". I hear it in sports/ gaming lingo.
So it's something like 'man up'. Ok, I can understand that.
There are negative connotations around "man up"
"Lock in" it just a fancy way to say, focus. But with a "we've got this" vibe to it.
gaming lingo
I see. So just press Tab, right?
Just press F10
ALT-F4 fixes the error

It's akin to "get over it" in this context.
I say less get over it and more "you got this"
IMO same thing, it's all just dismissing the other person's feelings and thoughts.
Thank you.
After all the stories about how male authors can't do realistic female characters, someone reversed it and asked how could you instantly tell if it was a woman describing a man.
The book 'The Outsiders' is about a bunch of tough guys who spend a lot of time talking about their feelings.
Stay gold, Ponyboy. (Wow, that name aged strangely.)
Stay rizzed, everypony

Yaaas, lemme give you the skibidi scoop on The Outsiders. It's a whole vibe of a story about a squad of Greasers who are low-key tryin' to get that rizz in a world where the Socs are runnin' the game. Ponyboy, the main simp, is narratin' the whole thing, and he's all about that book-smart life, no cap.
So, the Greasers are like, a gang of brothers and friends who are tryin' to get that bag, but they're also all about that loyalty and friendship, you feel? They're a whole skibidi crew, with Ponyboy, Sodapop, Darry, Johnny, Dallas, and Two-Bit all bringin' the heat. They're not just some randoms, they're a real squad, and they've got each other's backs, no matter what.
But, bruh, the Socs are like, the ultimate haters. They're all about that prep life, and they think they're better than the Greasers just 'cause they've got more clout. They're always tryin' to get under the Greasers' skin, and it's a whole thing. There's a rumble, and it gets pretty turnt up. Johnny has to get all scuffed up and kill one of the Socs in self-defense, and it's a whole skibidi situation.
The rest of the story is like, a wild ride of emotions, with the Greasers dealin' with the aftermath of the rumble and tryin' to stay one step ahead of the popo. It's a real tear-jerker, tbh. But, for real, The Outsiders is a classic coming-of-age tale that's all about gettin' that rizz, stayin' true to yourself, and not lettin' the haters bring you down, you know? It's a whole mood, and if you haven't read it yet, you need to get on that skibidi grind, ASAP.
Why do you wish to cause such pain in the world?
I think the middleground between toxic masculinity and overly emotion dumping femcels is a great target.
wtf did I just read
Idk dude, idk.
This comment makes your first one even funnier 😆
