similar

When using 'similar', it is most common to use it with the preposition 'to'. For example, you would say "This book is similar to that one," not "similar with." Be careful not to confuse 'similar' with 'same'. 'Same' means identical (exactly the same), while 'similar' means they are alike but have some differences.

Chloe uses 'stg' (swear to god) and 'vibes' to describe the resemblance between her brother and father. Leo responds with 'capping' (slang for lying), maintaining their antagonistic sibling dynamic.
