Are you okay?

This is a question typically asked by others who have noticed something off in your behavior, and care about you enough to ask it. This question is asked to confirm that the inquired person is in a sound physical, mental, or emotional state. The question "are you okay?" is usually met with a lie, because the person will feel that they don't need to worry the others, or that they just can't explain it, or talk about anything right now.

"Hey, are you okay?" "Why would I be?"

Cat

The ultimate God. If you get a cat to befriend you and make it think spending time with you, a petty human, is worth it, you have been blessed. Cats usually don't bother trying to be noticed by humans because they don't need to. Most wild cats are solitary, the exception being lions, as they live in prides.

Who really knows if you're the owner? Oftentimes, you are the cat's pet.

Ni Hao

This is a Mandarin Chinese phrase typically used in greeting. The term literally means "you good" ('ni' means 'you' and hao' means 'good'), but is used as a "hello" or "hi". If a 'ma' is added to the end of the phrase, its meaning is changed to something like "Are you well?" This is also a phrase used in greeting others, as it's polite.

"Ni hao ma?" What I like about speaking in foreign languages is that you can say literally anything, and most people won't know what in heck it means. I also know two cusswords in Japanese

Broken

The state of an object in which it is in pieces and no longer in its whole form. Most of the times when an object is broken, it cannot function properly anymore (example: a vase that has been dropped on the floor and is now shattered). A common belief exists around the world that broken things need to be fixed. Sometimes, they can't (or won't) comprehend that some broken things cannot, or should not be fixed. Some broken objects are only bothered to be fixed, because the fixer believes that some good will come out of it being functionable again. Not just physical things can break. Non-tangent things like a person's resolve can end up broken after a traumatic event (i.e. my heart).

Is it possible to die of a broken heart? I've always wondered.

Battle cry

A cry or chant that is taken up in battle, usually right before one army/force charges the other. Battle cries are meant to stir up the hearts of soldiers, to inspire them and remind them what they're fighting for: their homes, their families, their people, their freedom, or their glory. Sometimes a battle cry could be a meaningful phrase (i.e. "Andu-falah-dor", which means "Let balance be restored"), but other times it could be just an unintelligible, fearsome shout.

"LEEEEEEEROYYYY JJJJJJJJJJENNNKINS!" is an example of a battle cry.

Gay

An abbreviation for anything involving a person being attracted to another person of the same gender. This goes for both males and females. 'Gay' could describe homosexuals, bisexuals, or pansexuals. In old English, 'gay' was synonymous with 'happy' and 'jovial'. The word 'gay' is sometimes used inaccurately as slang for being transgender, or just used as an insult. Some people consider it as a swear word, which in my opinion, is rather ridiculous.

"Is it bad that most of my ships are gay?" "No, gay ships are yay ships." "But as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden-haired, and all princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant." -from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe If 'gay' is a swear word, then wouldn't 'straight' be, too?
