Definition

A warning sign that someone or something is problematic, dangerous, or destined to end in emotional destruction. Originally a legitimate relationship warning, it's now used so loosely that breathing wrong is a red flag. The bar is underground at this point.

Example Usage

"He said he 'doesn't really watch movies.' That's a red flag the size of a football field. What does he do? Stare at walls? Next."
