Social media sayings that can fuck off and die

I’ve reached the point of feeling a totally irrational surge of rage whenever I see them which is every damn day…

“I was today years old when”

“POV”

“That feeling when”

Anything that is referred to as a “hack”.

Calling an outfit a “fit”

People who say 'Be kind'. It wouldn't bother me but for the fact you can guarantee that the person saying it is most definitely NOT kind.

Oh yes. They usually mean "allow me to carry on with my ridiculous behaviour unchallenged".

'I'm done with' ( x, y, or z). So annoying. Do you mean you have finished?
But then too,( not a social media gripe, but a literary one) where 'I finished'
denotes having had a orgasm- awful. We're looking at you Sally Rooney.

I know its everywhere but I wish everyone who uses "it gives me the ick" would also f off and ...

Calliecarpa · 27/06/2024 16:57

As Sookafatwan said above, 'Wait,....' followed by some stupid lame observation/question.

'So you agree that...' when the person writing it knows darn well that the person they're responding to doesn't agree with what they're saying.

'Care to show me some evidence for XYZ?' when the 'XYZ' is something incredibly obvious and known to everyone.

'I'll wait.' The inevitable follow-up remark to the question above, always written on a new line to make it clear that the person doesn't believe there actually is any evidence.

Ugly crying

Ah, I quite like ugly crying, as someone incapable of a delicate sniffle with a solitary tear, it's a perfect description.

"sorry to jump in on here" <insert questions that has nothing to do with with the OPs enquiry>

Oh yes. "Sorry to derail" "Sorry to hijack your post". So they're aware they're doing exactly that but do it anyway. Idiots.

Not a saying but it seems on Instagram EVERYONE has to do the bloody peace sign. It's as if they don't have anything to do with their hands, they have to do it.

I asked a child why they did it. Their response "Just coz ......"

'Team Smith/Jones'

Side hustle. You're flogging old baby clothes on Vinted, not selling crack for the county lines.

ColdGirlWinter · 20/06/2024 15:17

I do say furchild, furgirl etc - but only to the cat, not to anyone else!

Thecatistheboss · 20/06/2024 14:53

Furbabies, I’ve had my vet refer to me as their ‘mum’ and told the cat to go and sit with his sister ( the dog) ‘you’ve got this is another one’

@RaraRachael I've seen Are You On Glue on here today!

RaraRachael · 20/06/2024 13:01

Love you to the moon and back

Love the bones of him/her

Are you on glue? Thought this was only a MN one but was watching Hope Street and a character said it 3 times in 2 episode.

Just putting this out there. Nobody cares

Cantbefound

Also, when posting holiday photos ‘sorry it’s late’ yes because everyone has been waiting impatiently for you to post your holiday pictures up! 😂

Really, the self-importance!
Bit like "Didn't want to read and run but..." on MN. Nobody even knows (or would care if they did) you've read it and you're actually saying (usually) you've nothing helpful to say.
I read a couple of cryptic crossword blogs and you get that sort of thing: "Haven't got time to write much today but I thought this was okay" or something.
Mate, if you haven't got time, don't bother rushing to write something boring, we're not all chewing our nails and fretting about where AnagraMan is today (not an actual pseudonym afaik, I'm not that mean).

I can't stand the "read and run" comments. Who on earth would even know? Also "for context" - just say what you want to say. Just tell us!

RaraRachael · 20/06/2024 12:22

Bad boys seems to be applicable to absolutely anything unfortunately.

I'm intrigued where these silly sayings actually originate

ColdGirlWinter · 20/06/2024 12:12

RaraRachael · 20/06/2024 12:00

"These bad boys" as in a chef adding something like tomatoes and saying "I'll just add these bad boys". No it's a fucking tomato - it's not bad and it's not male

Slay - no idea what that even means in SM speak. In my world it means to kill
I follow a wannabe influencer - frumpy 40ish who likes to get down with the cool kids. She says stuff like this and it just sounds so try hard.

in fact the majority of "influencers" and the like can just fuck right off. People filming themselves doing utterly mundane things for the content , but even worse, people subscribing to this shit. They must have very empty lives if they've time for this sort of nonsense.

I saw that about some mini egg cookies !
