ask out

Among middle and high schoolers, it basically means asking somebody to become your boyfriend/ girlfriend, or just simply taking friendship up to another level. After asking/ being asked out, he/ she will give you a hug after class or when he/ she sees you, and probably tell friends about it.

Bob: "I wanna ask out that girl in our german class."

Nobody Asked

An insult, meaning they don't want to hear what you have to say. Normally told at school in one of these two circumstances--1)They asked you the question and you answered it honestly 2)You give your opinion on the same topic when they were talking to you

This is normally a sign of bullying or harassment, but some people mistake it for "kids being kids". If the same person says "Nobody Asked" to you more than once, you should stop talking to them as they are trying to get under your skin.

Person 1: What's your favorite Star Wars movie or TV Show?
Person 2: I like The Mandalorian, it was a great Star Wars show!
Person 1: THE MANDALORIAN IS TRASH, NOBODY ASKED!
Person 2: But, you literally asked...
Person 1: DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE?!
