👉 The slang term for "robber" is "robbing." Imagine if someone went around stealing from people and never gave them back their things! That's a literal, physical meaning of the word. But what about when they're just doing it to make fun? Like, "Hey, I rob the coffee shop because I love taking shots of espresso!" This expression is so unexpected but adds a twist that makes us laugh.
Now for an edgy or unsettling example: Imagine you're at a party and all of your friends are talking about how they just robbed their friend. You know that friend by heart and want to see what they did, so you secretly sneak into the bathroom and steal something from them. But when they come out to say goodnight, they find out it's all a trick! They're not even in danger but everyone is terrified because of how serious the prank turned out.
That's right, that's "robber" being used as an edgy expression in this way—it can be both funny and unsettling at the same time.
