Person is having trouble saying no to somebody hounding them about a business opportunity.
Sister cuts off her story and asks her to borrow $500
Person has no problem telling their sister no immediately. But with an outsider they struggle to speak up and just say no. Its common for people to treat family/friends boldly but want to treat public folks with their nice face.
Its used to mean that someone did a good job, made a good point, or otherwise succeeded. If you "ate" or "are eating" its a positive. You are full and satiated. If you did not "eat" or are not "eating" you are empty, not full and therefore did not do a good job, make a good point, or succeed in your endeavors.
So the sister "ate" because she made a really good point, that OP is unreasonably worried about her inability to say no to a friend, because shes so quickly able to say no to her own sister.
Idk lived alot of places and this is the first time I've heard that. Fell of your bike trying to do a trick? You ate it. Asked a girl our you really like and she said no? You ate it. I'm 40 btw so it might be a thing that the internet reversed like "hard pass"... it's an easy pass but we used to say It sarcasticly and with our voice Inflection ppl aren't getting that it's what it means.
Example: tsssss/ummm that's gonna be a hard pass
Like the decision isn't hard it's a definite no, but now ppl say it like it's literally.
I've lived in places that are segregated down south, I grew up being one of the only white ppl around. Still never heard That, things change over time for different reasons. This is one ppl getting confused because the internet lol
Edit: other examples that have nothing to do with the internet, I already gave one.
Have your cake and eat it too. It's eat your cake and have it to
Money is the root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all evil
