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”

“You didn’t experience X and it shows”

Usually something ridiculous like “Some of you weren’t traumatised by the paintball episode of Byker Grove when you were 7 and it shows”

A lot of Welsh people use "stunnin/g" specifically to describe food. You're right about KFC though, definitely not stunnin!

BaconMassive · 12/06/2024 11:30

Asking a group of people a question and calling them "the hive mind".

Piss off.

Making memories (kids' memory of said event will probably be of being made to pose for a thousand photos).

And just like that (usually in reference to a child, after they have spent at least several years growing).

And not a saying, but I loathe the posing facial expressions and body poses that everyone seems to adopt in photos these days. It usually makes you look constipated. Just smile at the camera and look natural and normal FFS.

Oh the “gift” one!! I see it on here all the time too.

“AIBU to ask PILs to gift us a house deposit??”

GIVE. You want them to GIVE you a house deposit.

Or “my parents gifted me a new car”. They bought you a new car.

Aaaaaaaaargh

To me being gifted something suggests the giver already had it, and wasn’t using it/didn’t need it so gave it to you without wanting anything in return. As opposed to buying it especially for you as a present.

I've just looked up IYKYK

I volunteer to be the one to drown it in a cold puddle of tramp's vomit.

How is POV used? What does it mean?

Point of View, as explained; it's used pointlessly and inappropriately, with no context of explanation, such as:

POV - when you run out of Haribo!!! Pasted onto a photo of an empty Haribo bag. No further information.

@CantDealwithChristmas I didn't know that, that's interesting. Thanks

Yet curiously other languages such as French use the singular eg un pantalon, presumably because the legs are joined at the top to form one article of clothing.

I wonder if it is an attempt to channel a kind of euro vibe etc in order to make it sound more “ haute couture.”

Nonetheless, limping about in “a high heel“ would be anything but elegant 😂👠

It's from the world of haute couture design yes. Specifically from designers' workshops when the concept is at an early stage.

It's used on SM to make the user sound posh and bouji.

That's another one I hate. Bouji.

Yes, ack!! The worst one is 'jean'. The new wide legged jean. Please, please stop.

Thanks for your explanation of the origins of the slang.

Also; why must everyone's ex necessarily be a 'Narc ex'. Where is your psychiatric degree ffs.

Edited

It took me ages to understand, too - thought either Copper's Nark (someone who grassed others up to the police) or narcotics (so someone who was an addict)

What a load of happy cheery people you all are. Maybe social media isn’t for you?

I think, and I am not sure, Unalived is used because some algorithms on SM will block/ report the post if it says dead etc

I get that. But still makes me cringe.

Another one, not just from SM but also in newspapers, magazines etc.:
A wide leg trouser
A bold red lip
A kitten heel

Was shopping on Sunday and never noticed 1/2 pairs of trousers etc. nor have I ever seen someone with just lippy on one lip.

Yes, ack!! The worst one is 'jean'. The new wide legged jean. Please, please stop.

Biddie191 · 12/06/2024 11:18

You do you
Making memories
Furbabies / heart dog etc
Living my best life

Sorry, not read the whole thread, so surely these have already been said (can't just be me?)

TaylorBrown · 12/06/2024 11:17

'My son is really horrible to me' mums net 'DS' DD DH DM DF all of them

elliejjtiny · 12/06/2024 11:16

Those photos of people with a prosthetic leg or conjoined twins and the caption says it's their birthday and they haven't got any friends so please like the post. The picture will either have been photoshopped or taken from somebody's page or a public group without the knowledge of who posted it. There was one of a baby recovering from a cleft lip repair and the caption on the photo said she had been in a car accident.

There’s one I keep seeng which is something like “POV: your maternity leave is over and you have to go back to work” and it’s this woman cuddling her baby and crying.

What I actually see is a woman who picked an outfit, put on a full face of make up, set up her ring light, propped up her phone (or put it on a tripod or something) tapped record, picked up her baby, “cried” for a few seconds, put baby down, stopped recording, cropped the video, added a filter, and posted it online.

Show quote history

Absolutely and it's hardly a "Point Of View". It's a depiction of a situation. A point of view would be explaining the poster's take or interpretation of the situation but that is never what is being shown/said. Arrrggh!

Another one I keep seeing recently is "[Celebrity] breaks his/her silence" because they have said something on a subject but there is nothing at all to suggest they were keeping silent/refusing to comment prior to that. Gets right on my tits.

Yes somethings annoy me a little but not hugely. People can word things how every they like. The only thing I detest are people making out they are kinds and doing good deeds for people when I know deep down they are a c#nt.

Point Of View. I think it comes from gaming.

I'm probably too old to understand ....but I've seen people take videos of themselves crying....and I can't understand why you'd want to film yourself crying with snot coming from your nose etc. I'd hate it although tbh I hate the sound of my own voice crying or not!!

Or even worse, the one where they change outfits and do this little jump in the air (sometimes accompanied by clicking fingers) so they’re wearing one thing, they do the little clicky jump, and when they land they’re wearing something different.

Or when they sort of walk up to the camera holding their hand out and cover it up then next shot is wearing something different.

garlictwist · 12/06/2024 11:10

I am not on any social media (other than MN) and this thread has confirmed why. It has also explained a lot about how my younger colleagues speak which leaves me baffled sometimes.
