Definitions

The sound of an insult landing somewhere tender. You repeat the read back as a stunned question — '...back rolls?' — because you can't believe she went there and you're not over it. It's the perfect template for any too-personal jab: echo the exact words in pure disbelief. Alyssa's confessional delivery, all hurt eyes and slow blink, is the whole joke.

“He said my contour looked 'ambitious.' Ambitious!? Back rolls energy, I swear.”
