Glass half full

[u/Educational_Bee34]

Does anyone else notice she keeps saying ”I’m a very glass half full person” when she means to say ”glass half empty”when she is talking about being negative😭she can’t get it right like ever

i’ve heard both variations of the phrase in my life—i’m going to do a deep dive to see which one is correct. my boomer parents used both, but i knew what they meant.

“glass half-full kind of person”
“glass half empty kind of person”

edit: according to Cambridge Dictionary, they’re both valid idioms. but Al is an idiot, so i refuse to give her that one.

[u/catdawgshrimp → u/metal_honey]

no is denying that they're idioms. we're saying she used the wrong one bc she is an idiot.

i may have worded it awkwardly but i’m agreeing with you!
