Hangry Role-play
Lindsay and Michelle start the podcast with a playful role-play.
- Michelle says "let's get going, just pick a place," to which Lindsay responds "someone's a little hangry."
"Someone Is..." Structure
Saying "someone is..." indirectly accuses someone of something.

Workplace Use
- Avoid using "someone is..." at work unless you're close with the person.
- Direct feedback is preferred for serious work issues.
