The person you like, your platonic love, that someone who makes you sigh. Having a crush means riding an emotional rollercoaster every time they text you back.

The person in charge at work who makes the decisions. Also used informally to respectfully address any stranger on the street — the taco guy, the taxi driver, or the mechanic.

When someone who ghosted you months ago comes back out of nowhere texting as if absolutely nothing happened. They rise from the digital dead with a casual 'hey, how are you?' that's infuriating.
