“i can't get behind the "most fic writers are fujos" shit because unless they have offered any identifying information you have no idea the specific ins and outs of this person's identity. in case anyone has forgotten "fujoshi" means ROTTEN GIRL. it is an explicitly gendered term”
I could definitely get behind a fun restaurant in this town.
Get behind means: To support, to cheer on.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
get behind means: To support, to cheer on.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
