To dump somebody (verb) If you dump somebody, you’re probably going to break their heart. If you dump your boyfriend or girlfriend it means you stop having a romantic relationship with them for some reason. And if you’re dumped, it means that somebody doesn’t want to date you anymore – don’t worry, there are plenty more fish in the sea! (There are many more great single people out there to date).
Example 1)
“What’s wrong with Amy? She’s been walking around the campus all day looking sad and like she’s going to start crying anymore.”
“Didn’t you hear? Alex dumped her last night! Just don’t mention his name at all!”
“Wow, I’m surprised. They always looked so happy together!”
Example 2)
“Landon looks so mad! What happened?”
“He and Samantha broke up.”
“Oh no, who dumped who?”
Ex (noun) Usually if you hear to a friend referring to their ex, they’re referring to their old boyfriend or girlfriend who they no longer date. But if you put it with another noun for example ‘boss’ ex-boss it means your boss from before. I met my ex-boss in the supermarket the other day and he asked me to come back and work for him. I’m not going to now I’ve found this awesome new job.
Example 1)
“Who was that guy you were talking to before?”
“Oh Cam? He’s my ex!”
“And you’re still friends?”
“Kind of, we only broke up because he moved to LA.”
Example 2)
“My ex always sends me messages on Facebook. I wish she’d stop, it’s really annoying!”
“Tell her, or just delete as your friend!”
Geek (noun) Depending on how you use this word will depend on whether you’re being nice or not! If you refer to a person as a geek it’s referring to a person in a negative critical way because they like to study too much or spend too much time on the computer and not socialize. But if you call your friend a geek it could be in a fun more playful way.
Example 1)
“What do think of the new girl Amanda?”
“Not much, she seems like a geek. She spends all her time in the library!”
“Maybe because she feels lonely. She’s new!” (Mean and negative meaning).
Example 2)
“Let’s go Ted’s house party tonight! Everyone’s going to be there!”
“I wish I could, but I have to study for my finals!”
“Ah, man, you’re such a geek!”
“I know. But if I don’t pass Coach Jones is going to kick me off the team!” (Fun and more playful meaning).
