MEME REFERENCE

Are you two friends?

Use when two people give incompatible answers about whether they are friends, exposing a one-sided or awkward relationship.

What it expresses

One person claims closeness while the other simultaneously denies it.

Example

Two coworkers are asked whether they are best friends; one says yes and the other says no, so the team recreates this exchange.

When not to use it

Both people consistently describe the relationship the same way; there is no mismatch for the split answer.

• one-sided friendship
• relationship mismatch
• yes and no
• awkward
