I don’t think he invented most, if any, of those words. They have Latin and Germanic roots, the two languages that contributed the most to English.

The Greeks associated green with envy. He also did not use green eyed to describe jealousy. He compared jealousy to the green eyed monster. Some believe it’s a reference to cats.

Ooh ooh, now do Chaucer!

Show me One use of Any of those words before Billy S.

It’s a good question, but part of me wonders if Billy S. was just using the slang of his day that no one else was using in written language. No way to prove the theory, but we have to assume that he wrote things that were understood by his audience. So if he made them up, it must have been on a solid ground of roots and portmanteaus.

I’m going to accept that Maybe green eyes/envy came from Greece.

Homer kept associating grey eyes with warfare, and even though he wrote it, he didn’t make that shit up. So there’s precedent.

I came across this list below of relationship red flags. This list is more geared towards people already in relationships, but what are some red flags for dating relationships?

I’m happily married, but it’s a fun topic. If I were single, one of mine would be: she’s really into astrology. “Oh, you’re such a Sagittarius!” Date over. Thanks for quickly failing this IQ test so we can move on.

What are some of your red flags?

Biggest red flag is a woman who wishes she was a man. Find a woman who is glad she is a woman.

Do you mean happy to physically be a woman? Or more along the lines of filling a traditional sociocultural role of being a woman?
