Folding

Folding is an internet slang term used to describe when someone quits or gives up on a task or activity. It is often used to express disappointment or frustration with one’s own abilities or determination. Here are two practical examples illustrating the use of this term:

Example 1:

Person A: “I’ve been trying to learn Spanish, but it’s just too difficult.”
Person B: “Don’t fold now! Keep practicing and you’ll get better.”

Example 2:

Person A: “I’ve been trying to fix this computer problem for hours, but I can’t figure it out.”
Person B: “It’s okay to fold sometimes. Let’s ask for help from a professional.”
