Social media phrases you can’t stand

[TisConfusion]

Was browsing Instagram last night and someone I went to school with posted a photo of her and her grandparents and captioned it ‘My grandparents are better than yours’. Well the last of my grandparents passed away last year so...guess hers are better? I know I know it’s supposed to be lighthearted but I’ve seen it loads of times, ‘my friends are better than your friends’ etc. I just don’t like it! Are there any phrases you see on SM that get on your nerves?

Yeah I still think about the boots when I see slide into DMs... (you can take the girl out of the 90s, but...)

"So, a lot of people have been asking me about my skin care routine ..."
Followed by an interminable sales pitch for pointless products #ad #gifted #spon

I bet no one ever asked them about their skin care routine. I can't why you would.

@ItchyScratch I posted a pic of DD doing something fairly normal last week and my friend replied. #thisgirlcan

I love my friend dearly but christ almighty she's a bugger for dodgy hashtags. 😂

Describing something as "too funny" or "too cute"

Oh I'm sorry my baby is too cute, next time I'll cover its fucking face up.

I can't even ...

Feeling cute ...

I'll just leave this here, you're welcome.

Live, laugh, love

‘Real men/women....’ - as opposed to all the fake ones

‘snowflake’ - the numbers of idiots who try to use this as an insult is worrying high

Feeling all the feels.

Every one of the above mentioned annoys me too, especially 'lol dead!'. My little pet social media peeve is "laughed way harder than I should have at this" how hard should you have laughed then?

Making memories, blessed, sentences beginning with "so". Also, I did a thing.

In media terms the overuse of the word "lockdown" makes me want to scream. Used when two roads are closed...area in lockdown!!!!

Agree re lockdown ☠️

All of the above, plus “End of” when trying to cleverly make an argument.

Social media brings out some awful traits in people, a lot of them aren’t even like that in real life though! It’s like it gives them permission to be a twat for a while!!

Making memories
Holibobs

And then this happened.

You’ve got this mama

Friday night drinkipoos

Or (something) goals

#girlboss. As opposed to what?? #manboss?? Or you know...just boss.

Any hashtags. What is the point of them?

That wee face
This one

Dear god. Thankfully I don't use much social media, like CherryValance, DM's are boots to me.

APatchyTomCat where I'm from, 'beauts' means something totally different. "Out with these beauts" would be akin to saying "out with these fucking dickheads".

anything to be honest it all gets on my nerves but i saw #mummabear #wegotthis , recently and it really irritated me !

Ha that’s funny, but no, sadly round here it just means the ‘girls’.

Fucking famalam. My sister posts shit like "spending time with this one today #blessed #famalam"
Last time she came over I told her if she posted a hashtag with famalam and tagged me again I'd block her.
I've never posted a hashtag in my entire life (had to hunt for the hash to post those above), what is the point in them?

Can’t stand the tendency for people to self define as ‘mama’ or worse ‘mama bear’ on social media. FFS.

He/she said Yes!

@hairwizard hashtags on Instagram are to increase your followers and reach. People hope that searchers will find them through the hashtag and follow them. The problem is when they post their Insta pic automatically over to Facebook which doesn't use them in the same way. It's annoying.

‘These squares’ 🤯
