Caiden Kim

With school now being back in full swing after the big Summer Break, many of you may feel that it's awkward to adjust to both new and old friendships after being apart for so long. If you need help getting your social life back in order, then you're in luck. Here is a list of 10 awesome one liners to pull out when you want to lighten the mood or just have some fun.
1. "Mind if I borrow that?"
This one's best used when stealing food from someone else. You're showing off your table manners and your magnificent upbringing to your less educated peers. Your parents would be so proud!
2. "You got this!"
Use this one when your friend is heading off to the bathroom. It lets them know that you're always there to support them through their toughest times. You're just the best!
3. "Watch your head"
Best used immediately after someone else has bumped their head. This shows that you are looking out for your pal's wellbeing. You're so compassionate!
4. "Anything for a fan"
Especially use this when signing a receipt at a 7/11. This emphasises the act of generosity you're displaying for the underpaid server by giving them your time of day. How generous!
5. "I think I'm supposed to be sick that day"
Gotta use this one when the teacher is giving you a test date. This shows how proactive you are in communicating with your community. Very impressive!
6. "I'll write that down"
This one's most effective in response to someone stuttering. You're displaying your acute sense of focus and attention to your friends. How diligent!
7. "This could have been an email"
Best used when someone wastes your time in any way. This allows the recipient to understand the true gravity of the situation and a more efficient way of progressing. You're so astute!
8. "You're making a scene"
Use this right after someone sneezes. You're kindly informing the sneezer that their actions have been a disruption to the general community and that they should develop some social awareness. How thoughtful of you!
9. "Room for one more?"
You gotta use this one when using the urinal next to another guy. Here, you are showing off some bathroom etiquette, making sure there's enough space next to your partner, as well as easing the intense tension with a friendly gesture. The effect is tripled when giving your buddy a fist pump. 👊 Very slay!
10. "Easy there Lego Batman"
Use this when someone shorter than you starts getting mad. By doing this, you are considerately consoling your miniature friend in their poor mood whilst also making a hilariously niche reference they are sure to enjoy. You're so attentive!
With that, the list of easy-to-use on liners are complete and ready for you to abuse! Using this repertoire of wit and savvy, you are sure to make many friends and inspire current ones. You can be sure that those around you will see you as a respectable role model for your saint-like heart shown through your well-placed one liners.
