On brand
의미: Consistent with someone's personality, image, or established behavior.
On brand borrows from marketing — where a brand stays consistent with its identity — and applies it to people. If your friend who's always late shows up late again, that's 'on brand' for them. It can be complimentary or gently mocking, acknowledging someone's predictability.
