"making memories"

No you're not, you're taking endless photos for social media instead of actually living life in the moment.

Over the rainbow bridge annoys me. And many others

Not a fan of 'Quality Time' by Hi-Five then? 🎶😁 (Me neither)

"Fit check" (yeah, it means outFIT, not how the outfit ... well, fits)
"Obsessed with ..." (unless you actually are)
"It's giving ..."
"For all my ___ girlies"
"Let's get into it!" (Five minutes into a video - babe, we ARE in!)

GaaNeen · 04/08/2026 19:08

making memories - lazy / cliche / toe curling

so, I did a thing - my most loathed social media phrase

Imicola · 04/08/2026 19:17

Gifted (given)
Blessed
Bakes (instead of just saying cakes or baking)

Oh My God at the start of any TikTok selling video is guaranteed to make me scroll past immediately.

We are in love with (new baby)
Can’t wait to meet (new baby)
On holiday, date night etc… with this one.

And rainbow baby.

I remember when social media was born. I thought that only a narc would post that kind of shite about themselves. I don't go on social media. I can't understand why I would. I don't even have FB. I have whatsapp to send messages to family chats etc, but that's really it.

If you know, you know!

“The obligatory…..”
“I’ve had worse Mondays”
”aaaaand relax”

Moveoverdarlin · 04/08/2026 19:37

Great food, great wine, great company.

Moveoverdarlin · 04/08/2026 19:38

Obsessed!!!

LondonLass2026 · 04/08/2026 19:39

"so... THIS happened". (followed by intense boasting)

‘And just like that …. ‘ (typically referring to, for instance, a child who has been alive for 10 years turning 10)
‘And that’s a wrap on …. ‘

Anyone (Ex-SIL I’m looking at you) who is always ‘super excited’ about something, but that might be because she is a very gushy person IRL and I can ‘hear’ how she is saying it.

I also have someone who posts a lot about her ‘hollibobs with the famalam’, but I also know how long she had to wait for her famalam, and the grief and struggles along the way, so I’m just pleased she gets to have her hollibobs with them, and I ignore the fact that the words make my teeth itch.

“Craveable” about food: you are able to crave it? Don’t be ridiculous.
”’Fit”: its two bloody syllables, it’s not arduous to manage both.
”That being said...” when they’re not about to make an alternative, contradictory statement

Abouteffingtime · 04/08/2026 19:54

I dont have any to add but cringe at my old facebook posts 😬

TamarindCottage · 04/08/2026 21:06

A huge “ask”: whatever happened to the word “request”?

Whosthetabbynow · 04/08/2026 21:12
