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”

"Legend" when theyre not. Legend is over used.

Wiggling a bottle of some cosmetics while tapping it with your nails - MAKE IT STOP! So tedious.

They are almost always tapping it with Acrylic fingernails which is worse as they make a horrible clicky sound.

Also, flashing images. Possibly from tik tok or Instagram stories originally? (Fuck knows)
They are now on all my emails.

Open an email from a clothing company and I get rapidly changing images in front of my eyes. It's fucking awful makes me feel dizzy and irritated. It can't be good for anyone with certain eye or neurological conditions.

There's probably some name for it. Being a cunt I call it.

'Doing life' as in 'i love doing life with this one'.

'Neurospicy'

'So...I did a thing for the Tok'

'Tell me you're autistic/have ADHD without telling me you're autistic/have ADHD' with many comments from people doing and thinking completely usual things and thinking they're special, when they don't and they're not, but it's trendy to pretend you have.

This is why I can never go back to social media (appreciate MN may be viewed as a version of it of course)

I would probably just reply "tell me you're a twat without telling me you're a twat. And fuck off with your neurospicy"

Twats.

Self care

The way it's been taken hostage by every beauty company, like buying their volumising spray will stop me wanting to jump off a cliff.

Also when some already heavily made-up 14 year old influencer trials a foundation and looks like she's witnessing the parting of the Red Sea 'omg...ob-sessed....do you see that? Do you really see it? I can't...I just cant...melts into the skin'

Because it does what any foundation would do.

CrybabyteaRs · 12/06/2024 15:52

Oh another one...
when some vacuous self appointed 'expert' on parenting/pop psychology or wellness etc does that cringey waggly finger thing whilst pointing to their little asinine 'rules' on the screen. 🤢 nobody cares... stop lecturing people with advice they didn't ask for.

Oh and more generally,
grown ups bobbing around to the latest TikTok trend - it's the height of narcissism and I reckon in a few years time people will look back and say 'what the heck was all that bollocks about??' 🙈

Summerflames · 12/06/2024 15:53

I wonder how many people feel the way we all do about these things. That pic of nicki minaj someone posted. Why was she mothering??? Mothering who? Where is her child? It makes no sense.

needsomewarmsunshine · 12/06/2024 10:59

The problem so many people trying to sound cool using the slang, they come across as complete twats.

Like baseball caps worn backwards, should be banned after 12 years of age.

Can't read the whole thread as it's too annoying but mine is where Instgrammers refer to a new cafe or restaurant as a 'spot'. Just call it a fucking cafe or restaurant!! And as for 'joint'...😡

Joint used to mean a cafe etc is almost 1950s in origin or even earlier, 'this joint's jumping', it's crowded and noisy.

Opinionwontchangeluv · 12/06/2024 16:10

Anything cheeky
Anything terrifying
F off

Oh god yes gifting. "My mum gifted my toddler a toy garage" "I was gifted these chocolates". I know language changes but it sounds so weird and pretentious. To me, "gifting" is what happens when someone gives their priceless neolithic gold jewellery collection to a museum or something. Otherwise it's "give".

Can I also add 'can I get', no love, someone's paid to get your coffee etc for you!

chocolatemademefat · 12/06/2024 09:21

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!

There used to be donkeys years ago a comedienne called Hilda Baker whose catchphrase was She knows you know. Clearly well ahead of the game.

Howbizarre22 · 12/06/2024 16:32

Ugh yeh “photo dump.”
Just gives me an image of them shitting there pictures out onto my screen 🤮

BuggeryBumFlaps · 12/06/2024 16:35

The tapping of fingernails on everything. My version of fingernails on a chalk board

When you ask someone "What did you get for your birthday?" are you implying they went out and bought their presents themselves?

"Can I get" is perfectly correct, sensible, normal usage in lots of places including Ireland, Scotland (I think) and the US. Nothing wrong with it.

Words · 12/06/2024 17:09

No. In your example 'get' means 'what were you given'

Not great but

'Can I get' At a cafe counter means 'may I please have'.

Ti7ch · 12/06/2024 17:15

"I have undiagnosed ADHD / Autism"

paulhollywoodshairgel · 12/06/2024 17:23

So and so has 'broken their silence'

Cheeky Nando's , cheeky Prosecco.. eff off!!

AInightingale · 12/06/2024 17:32

A list of neurological conditions in a bio. Usually followed by pronouns.

I have a social media rule of -if I wouldn’t say it in real life then I wouldn’t say it on social media. People say absolute crap they wouldn’t dare say in person I.e calling their DH / partner “my one” “our king” etc…😬

My king 🤣🤣🤣

Social media is absolutely batshit.

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 12/06/2024 17:36

The patronising finger wagging on the so called instructional videos in what not to do.

People apparently "opening up". Ffs.

EarthSight · 12/06/2024 18:03

Adrieeeeenne · 12/06/2024 10:55

I have absolutely no idea 😂

I think I might be able to articulate this now. I think it's part of what 'I'm mad me!!!' types say.

Poppyg123 · 12/06/2024 18:49

There is worse ; a lip, as in 'a pink lip' : please go away, go far far away.
