捡几个比较众所周知的写下来

on read

When someone receives one or more text messages from another person but doesn’t respond, they’re leaving the sender on read. As in, the sender can see that their texts were read, but there’s no reply.

(Pronounced as “on red.”)

“Jason texted me five times last night but I left him on read.”

Reading

In gay culture, the act of pointing out a flaw in someone else (usually publicly and in front of them) and exaggerating it.

Gay guy 1: "Those shorts weren't made for you, honey. Look at that muffin top. More like a cupcake top!"

Reading

TV in your head, if done correctly.

I don't understand why people hate reading. Its like TV in your head.

Read

In gay slang, means to publicly "call out" or insult someone on their actual flaws (flaws that would normally be taboo to bring up in polite conversation). Equivalent to the term "roast/roasting someone".

Originated in gay black culture, made popular and used by drag queens and gay male bar/club culture. The term "reading" stems from the idea that these called-out flaws are so apparent, they can be perceived/"read" off the person in question as easily as reading a piece of text off a book.

A perfect example of the internal division and active-attempts-break-one-another-down that exists within the already disenfranchised gay male/LBGT community.

#1: "Read" as noun
Person 1: You know going out and drinking every night is so horrible for your body...
Person 2: This is coming from someone who smokes cigarettes daily and eats microwaveable ramen noodles?
Bystander: Ooh, that was a read!

#2: "Read"/"Reading" as a verb
Person 1: Ugh, I can't believe how much weight I've gained lately!
Person 2: Maybe you should stop eating boxed macaroni n' cheese for every meal and get some exercise.
Person 1: Damn! Why you always got to read me?
Person 2: Sorry reading you is just too easy.
