LMAO at all these dude saying it's about shit talking. Nah, home girl got her eyebrows waxed and the waxer wants to know if she needs her lip done too... it hurts. Do not recommend.
Thank you for explaining.
Nail salon bro
Is best bro
Maybe a Brazilian wax?
"Giving lip" is like "talking back" or maybe even "chewing out" but basically it means to talk shit about someone.
"You want lip too" is what I might expect to hear from my boss after telling him that it's not okay to berate the staff
You want lip too is the worst.
I understand Hi and inquisitive questions, but a compliment as danger?
The sentence is a strong indication that the complimenting person wants to do some small talk.
And is starting with a personal remark commenting on one's appearance.
I am a rather introvert person with some additional slight social anxiety issues.
Wouldn't directly interpret it as "danger", but would definitely get uncomfortable and depending on how good I know the person also anxious.
I hate it when people do not honour the simple human courtesy of pretending we are all invisible. Strangers should not even allow it to be known that they are aware I have an appearance to begin with. I was out running today looking absolutely wretched, and some woman who could not have been more than five years older than me addressed me as "honey!" I should have called her "ma'am" but I was too chagrined. I'm not sure that's related but it bothers me on the same level.
Hi. with a period feels so weird lol
I'm not great at telling sincerity from sarcasm and was bullied in school for my appearance, so being complimented out-of-the-blue initially registers as a threat for me until my thinking brain can catch up
Complements are a big warning that someone is trying to manipulate my emotions
What does "you want lip too" mean?
When your brow waxer is implying you've got a lady stache, and asking if you want her to wax that too.
