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”

I did a thing
On here - no is a complete sentence
Using 'incredible' to describe everything
Fuck off then fuck off some more or something like that - usually on here - cringe

@WingsofRain
Yep that one - breath instead of breathe 🤯

augustusglupe · 12/06/2024 07:34

‘So Goooood, it’s sooooo gooood’.

’Perfect’ as in ‘Paaarrrfect’.

Oh and ‘The Mothership’. 😬

Loopytiles · 12/06/2024 07:34

Food ones with thin, young women taking large bites of giant burgers saying things like ‘so savoury and flavourful’

Yirk · 12/06/2024 07:33

And... be kind, NO I won't.

saraclara · 12/06/2024 07:32

Tell me you're xyor z without telling me you're xy or z

This is the worst. And it's all over Mumsnet too. Makes me want to scream.

Yirk · 12/06/2024 07:32

Fur babies !!! Not babies they are animals!!
Nom nom nom, shes doing it now at breakfast,,, just stop!

NoDice77 · 12/06/2024 07:31

It’s giving
I’m obsessed!
Tell me you, without telling me you..

H34th · 12/06/2024 07:31

I'm not sure if this is just social media or language is moving on but I had to look up a lot of posts, like
'Zest' and a few others I've now forgotten. I think this one was gay.

And when I first went to TikTok had to use a lot of imagination to figure out sentences abbreviated to first letters -
Fr (for real) and all the rest.

We are getting so abstract, I sometimes wonder how our little children will ever catch up. A contemporary children's movie requires so much decoding now, things are not spelled out as they used to be when we were children...
Is part of the anxiety and problem behaviour caused by the fact we expect them to run before they walked?

Tell me you're xyor z without telling me you're xy or z

Thank you!! I hate this and 'today years old'.

Porageeater · 12/06/2024 07:28

I recently came off everything because I suddenly became enraged at how fatuous and attention seeking it all is. And boring. I’m usually a fairly tolerant person but I have had enough.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 12/06/2024 07:28

Making memories
Living my best left
Today years old
Happy Heavenly Birthday

But what I really hate is the photos of women and girls trout pouting and making peace signs - totally naff

AsMyGranWouldSay · 12/06/2024 07:26

"....broke the Internet" 😡

Fraaahnces · 12/06/2024 07:26

I hate it all… I utterly loathe the lack of punctuation also.
My current pet hate is the anthropomorphising of animals and putting words in their mouth, implying silly baby talk, like “Chimken” and “Bleb”. Barf

NotSmallButFunSize · 12/06/2024 07:25

"Everyone has been asking....."

No one has asked.

LaMarschallin · 12/06/2024 07:25

LOL used as a full stop.

Just realised that MN isn't my only social media - I read a couple of cryptic crossword blogs too.
Someone has joined and (I suspect in a effort to show how young and frivolous she is in her 40s, compared to the rest of us who are generally 50 and upwards*) finishes almost every post with LOL or 😂: "I nearly finished today but put "rough" instead of "bough" at 12D LOL"

What's so bloody funny about that?!

*Bitter? Me? Just because I'm about 10 years older? LOL

notgettinganyyounger · 12/06/2024 07:24

People who post on their stories . Correct me if I'm wrong but is this the way you can see who has looked at your post? Whereas timeline you can't see? Smacks of the self obsessed.

Cantbefound · 12/06/2024 07:22

I’m only on Facebook so don’t get exposed to the worst of it probs…but ‘and just like that, he/she is 2!’ About kids birthdays. ‘And just like that!’ 😂

notgettinganyyounger · 12/06/2024 07:22

Living my best life

Love you all the world

Be kind

And yes, I'm obsessed with this nail colour/eyebrows/fillers etc from all these one day trained beauty gurus

flipflop76 · 12/06/2024 07:21

This is your sign....

Also “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but …..” Pixie

No one. No one needs to hear it.

😁

Andthatwasthatshesaid · 12/06/2024 07:19

The people that add stupid music to their stories on Facebook.

Fuck off.

Mapletreelane · 12/06/2024 07:19

Curated
And just like that we have a teenager in the house.....like they're the only person that had ever had someone reach 13
