What's the situation?

Ever seen someone with a brand-new car or a dream vacation and felt a pang of longing? 😩 That's when you're 'green with envy'! It perfectly describes that intense, slightly uncomfortable feeling of wanting what someone else has. It's often used humorously, but it expresses a real emotion. 💚
