else

The word "else" usually comes after the words it describes, such as "something," "anything," "someone," or "everyone." You cannot put it before these words. In computer programming, "else" is used to tell the computer what to do if the first condition (the "if" part) is not true.

Unless you have something else to offer besides a scam, stop texting me.

💡
Maya uses 'else' as an adjective meaning 'additional' or 'different'. The phrase 'pivot your portfolio' is crypto-slang for changing investment strategies. Maya's tone is brutally honest and dismissive of Jackson's lack of a real job/product.
