Meaning of red-flaggy | Babel Free

Adjective CEFR B2

Definitions

Exhibiting or characterized by red flags (signs or signals that something is wrong).

informal, rare

Examples

“It's the kind of glow that doesn't feel strange or weird or misguided or red-flaggy. Just a glow. Yes, I'm still nervous as hell, but I know I'm moving in the right direction, no matter what happens.”
“If you never show up at her house and are always dragging her to yours, they probably are pretty suspicious of you. Nothing is more red-flaggy than someone who doesn’t make an effort to get to know their partner’s friends.”
“You get so swept up by charm and great conversation that you might literally ignore their "maybe-sorta-girlfriend" or the fact that they say stuff like "I'm not really into relationships." It's like they can utter the most red-flaggy, run-for-the-hills sentence straight to your face, but as long as they're funny and cute, it'll filter out into "I'm The One."”
