This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to
"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke
(v.) To be travelling faster than said speed. See mph
You can think of your own example, lazy bums. I don't work for free all the time.
Hym "YET, still, here I am. My rights still being violated. My head still failing to drain the fluid through my lymphatic system. My bank account, empty. As my life's work has been stolen by billionaires. Waiting (patiently) for the warm glow of liberal morality to touch my life. And, while I wait, Palestinians die because you just NEED to take a hard line on Anti-Semitism. Our freedom of speech infringed upon because you need a nebulous subcategory of speech to which our rights do not apply and thus, the Anti-Semitism law. If you can do it, they can do it, so they did it and now our rights are diminished and it's entirely your fault. So, knowing better than God doesn't really amount to much."
Explaining to someone (usually a member of the LGBTQ+ community who is at the beginning of their "coming out" journey) that "it gets better." This could be perceived as patronizing, particularly when offered by someone who doesn't seem to have their life together, but it is well-intentioned.
A reference to the It Gets Better Project storytelling campaign which has helped thousands of LGBTQ+ young people. Used in the HBO Max show, "The Sex Lives of College Girls"
"I'm just calling to check in on you. I could tell you're in a really bad place and I just wanted to say that it gets better."
"Oh my god, are you "it gets bettering" me? Yeah, no, I'm fine. You drive a Ford Windstar. You get better."
