Does "straight shooter" make sense in this context? about to get it tattooed on my wrist
I'm not sure where I've heard this definition, but the way I thought of it is that a straight shooter is someone who's highly motivated to accomplish something. the idea behind it is someone wanting something so badly and being about to pull the trigger. I'm someone who's highly obsessed with self-improvement and I'd love to get it tattooed on me. before I make any mistakes, is this interpretation correct?
Son of a *beeeep*! Hey newbies, don't you tell me you knew this already, because I didn't :D Pardon for the language lol ! (found this at grammarly)

What does “cooked” mean?
Hello everyone! Lately I often hear this word and I don’t know what does it mean. For example I watched caseoh and he said “we are cooked him” and I don’t know what does it mean. English isn’t my first language so can you explain the meaning of this phrase and word?
5 Things I learned about English from 2 weeks on Reddit
Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been using Reddit for the past two weeks to improve my English, and here’s what I’ve discovered: 1. Context Beats Grammar Rules✍️ Native speakers don’t always stick to perfect grammar - what matters is how natural it sounds. 2. Slang Is Everywhere 🗣️ Phrases like “spill the tea” ☕ or “hot take” 🔥 seemed confusing at first, but context helped me figure them out. 3. Tone Changes Everything 🤔😅 The same sentence can feel friendly or sarcastic depending on punctuation, emojis, or subreddit vibe. 4. Mistakes Are Okay ✅ Even when my grammar wasn’t perfect, people were kind and focused on understanding me. 5. It’s Like Language Immersion🌍 Reddit exposes you to real, everyday English that’s impossible to learn from a textbook. Anyone else using Reddit to practice English? Share your experience! 😊

Business days...
excuse my wording, but what the f*ck are they? I've heard that monday to friday are business days- but then what about 6 business days, do u just gloss over the weekend, or do you make saturday and sunday business days when their turn is up? Like for example: "honey i'll be gone for 8 business days, have fun!" how long are those 8 "business" days context: i am not native, yet i have a c1 level of education with a high vocab in english (including the term business days), but of some choice things i am just completely unaware of the meaning
