WHAT “AURA” ACTUALLY MEANS

A person’s perceived coolness, confidence or presence. People joke about “gaining” or “losing aura points” depending on how impressive or embarrassing something they did was. Saying someone “has aura” means they come across as effortlessly cool.

ZACK’S TRANSLATION

A credit score for vibes. You lost 400 points on Tuesday when you waved back at someone who was waving at the person behind you.

“AURA” USED IN A SENTENCE

“He tripped on stage and kept walking like nothing happened. Insane aura.”
He also kept walking into the wrong room. Aura is mostly confidence and luck.
“Minus 1,000 aura for crying at the dentist.”
The dentist has seen worse. The dentist has seen you before.
“She doesn’t post. That’s aura.”
Or she forgot her password. Mystery is cheap.
