Social media sayings that can fuck off and die

[AngeloMysterioso]

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”

They do have children because they live in the next street to me. Not saying nobody can get pissed and show their keks and get their tits out, they can if they want, but, you know, aren't parents meant to be role models for their kids?

The TAPPING! And the waggling!

Hack is the one that really annoys me. No it's not a hack, you haven't just discovered something new 🙄I've been doing it for the last 30 years.

I agree with most of these but honestly, my instagram is a bloody ad reel. I am pleased when I see posts from the people I actually follow peeking through, even if they use annoying sayings.

one I keep seeing is “not you, doing activity” I get what they’re trying to say but it never lands properly.

Also any kind of begging. I saw a post from a crafter saying “even if my art isn’t your thing please, please interact with my post”. Fuck off! I can barely see the stuff I am actually interested in. I have a high threshold for wanting to tell creative people to fuck off but I don’t like being farmed for likes.

Probably more of a LinkedIn thing, but I do see it on other social media: using the word "humble" or "humbled" when they mean "proud", which literally means the exact opposite.

Me and DD do a "haul" for DH almost every time we go shopping even for really boring stuff. But we call it a "ra-haul" because we love Rahul from bake off! 😃

I don’t like being farmed for likes

Now that is an excellent phrase. Clever.

Not SM, but definitely reality shows...

I'm feeling some kind of way- what does that even mean?!

Oh I forgot just sayin’
so passive aggressive

One irritating phrase that's particularly prevalent on MumsNet is "work colleague".

As opposed to what? Pub colleague? Gym colleague? Shopping colleague?

A colleague is someone you work with. They're a colleague. No additional word required.

If you know you know. I don’t.

we move. Where?

yummy, yum yum or deeeelicious. Usually said about their own cooking.

Worse than anything for me is the tapping of nails on whatever cheap product being sold on certain sites - eff right off!

fuckhobbit 😁

That thing that will be going round again soon about how you only get 18 summers with your children so you should make the most of them. Always makes me feel guilty.

"I was rushed to hospital" . Everyone is being rushed to hospital, nobody seems to go there at a normal speed anymore.

General exaggerations about health. "The drs said I would be in a coma for the rest of my life but 2 days later I danced out of the hospital". In my experience Drs never say something is definite unless they are 100% sure it's going to happen. I was 12 weeks pregnant with a scan that showed a collapsed sac measuring 6 weeks and I was bleeding through 2 massive sanitary pads, my trousers and the bed. The Dr said she thought I MIGHT be having a miscarriage. Which is fair enough, they like to be certain but it does mean that a Dr is very unlikely to tell you something is certain and then they have a miraculous recovery 2 days later. Or things like "It was touch and go and we nearly lost her but dd is on the mend from viral tonsilitus". Or photos of people being worked on by paramedics/Drs who clearly are unaware that they are having photos taken. This may be hypocritical because I do have a few selfies of ds4 and his plastic surgeon but that was with consent, in outpatients not during anything critical, surgeon is more like an uncle now, we've known him for over 11 years and I don't put them on facebook.

Probably everything on this thread tbh. My own principal dislikes:

This one
And so it begins
Going to get messy
Completed it mate
Blowing off the cobwebs (every single photo of a walk in winter/autumn)
I wrote a thing
Hold my beer
This many years old

POV (point of view) really bugs me because it's rarely used correctly to show the poster's point of view. It's just showing a situation i.e. POV - when your dog wants to go for a walk. Shows clip of dog waiting by door with lead in its mouth. It's faintly amusing but most importantly it is self-explanatory. It requires no "POV". In fact I'm lost as what different POVs could be applied to the scenario.

Edited for rogue apostrophe!

"And now I can't unfeel that."

Adding 'gorg' or 'beut' on FB photos & worse when the photo is obviously terrible 😡

#isaidwhatisaid.... Yes we are all fucking aware you said it!! Usually after some over opinionated nonsense

Pictures of dogs with “it’s my 17th birthday and I haven’t had any wishes”. I love dogs, but I do understand that they don’t know what a birthday is and don’t care whether anyone wishes them a happy birthday or not.

General exaggerations about health.

Everything you mentioned but my pet hate is "projectile vomiting".
Nobody ever justs vomits any more - except that's what the vast majority of people actually do. They do not have "projectile vomiting".
Vomiting is, by it's nature, somewhat projectile as the stomach contracts to expel contents.
True projectile vomiting (as an actual, medical description) is spectacular.

Yep, so smug and patronising.

'Whoop whoop'. I mean, literal whooping should be a custodial offence anyway. Don't want to imagine someone doing it.

I actually think that these are just this generation's slang that they also use offline (like "slay"), and so essentially fine - although being over 21 I would never use them myself. I think the internet just gives me more exposure to how teenagers talk than you'd usually get unless you are a teenager or have them in your family. I agree with every single one in your first post, though! Rage!

For me it's "So I did a thing" followed by a photo of anything from a loaf of baked bread to a book to a baby.

Posting pictures of grandchildren who are too young to be able to read with “love you to the moon and back”.

'This one' (as in 'making memories at the beach with this one'). Obvs anyone who says 'making memories' deserves their own special place in hell, that goes without saying.
