What these words actually mean on Social Media Bios ?


After reading many of the bios on Twitter , Facebook , linkedin etc .. one gets a feeling that people want to use euphemistic words to explain themselves to the world .. may be ..its their way of fantasizing ..building their own self esteem or to project in certain way they wish they were !
