About This Quote

“Sort of” can be a harmless thing to say, but after certain things that we hear, it could mean everything. It usually means that person is lying because sort of just means ‘kind of’. For example, if someone says “I love you” and we know they don’t mean it we can ask them if we want to and they will say “sort of” and we will know they were lying. We can also use it when we say something like: “You’re going to live” and the other person says “sort of” and we know they are lying.

We can also use it when we tell our parents that the baby is a boy and then he is a girl. If someone uses sort of like this it means they are lying
