It seems that this phrase is used to describe pretty much every single teenage behaviour.

    It’s when someone is resisting or being hostile, but they’re not being obvious about it.

    Like your boss tells you to open up every box and count the stuff in it. You tell them “okay sure boss I’ll do that” and then you go off and do something else as soon as the boss is gone.

    Or you have some person you don’t like and you’re left alone with their earbuds. You take a quick moment to break their earbuds when no one will know. And you still act nice to the person.
