1. FUNNY / HILARIOUS
- Funny is a general, milder term for something that causes amusement; it can also mean odd or suspicious (“that’s funny”).
- Hilarious is stronger and more emphatic, suggesting uproarious laughter; it’s more informal and hyperbolic.

2. EXTRACTED / YANKED
- Extracted is neutral/formal and implies removal done deliberately, often carefully or technically (e.g., data or a tooth extracted).
- Yanked is informal and forceful, implying a sudden, rough pull and possibly damage.

3. ACTIVE / ENERGETIC
- Active describes being engaged, taking part, or moving regularly; it’s relatively neutral and can refer to involvement or use.
- Energetic emphasizes high intensity, vigor, or dynamism; it carries a more positive, lively connotation.
