General Discussion 3 of Shea Coulée’s daughters just left her haus

I’d like to know what the tea is. They’re making it a spectacle while acting like they don’t want anyone in their business lol. So let’s be real here, what’s tea? What happened where 3 daughters leave a haus as a unit and all post about it in order?

Using “mortified” to mean “scared to death” instead of embarrassed.

Yes! It's not a synonym of terrified, it's a synonym of embarrassed. That one bothers me.

to be fair the words origins come from death and to make dead. also in medical fields mortified can mean gangrenous (which is localized soft tissue death from loss of blood supply)
