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”

Make-up tutorials: they never “use” a product, they “go in with” it I.e “I’m going to go in with the concealer” 🙄

Chefs kiss drives me insane. They don’t do the action they literally say that was chefs kiss 🤬

Of course they are! When someone posts a photo of a dressed up cat and labels it with 'Momma hooman sez I am a cutey pie', you may be sure that the cat is thinking, 'Hmm, idiotic human. I will wait until I am sure I am the sole beneficiary of your Will and then I will kill you in your sleep.'

A lot of these are from drag 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh god, I hate this too.

Like which?

I hate the term 'woke' and when they say broke the Internet! Also if something is sick

I'm an elder millennial and for some reason really like these new phrases. I'm a big words person and I find them really creative and descriptive!

On the other hand, I hate anyone on social media who is asking for recommendations and writes "andddd go!" at the end. Don't tell me what to do, recommendation seeking stranger,

I hate anyone on social media who is asking for recommendations and writes "andddd go!" at the end.

I also hate when people repeat the wrong letter to emphasise a word like "andddd" instead of "aaaand".
That's more me being a pedant though.

(Not trying to niggle at you, cgitype: I appreciate you were just giving an example, but it reminded me of yet another thing that irritates me)

It's things like 'I'm in my mum era' or 'I'm in my lazy girl era' etc. So annoying lol!

Best life and authentic self... makes me want to fire up the woodchipper in the basement

No it is gross. The time to do those things is in your teens when you have the excuse of not knowing better.

The incorrect use of "aesthetic". So, "it makes it look aesthetic", rather than "adds to the aesthetic" or "this is aesthetically pleasing".

"Breaks their silence".

"Few people know of this simple trick to..."

I also hate when people repeat the wrong letter to emphasise a word like "andddd" instead of "aaaand"

Yes this bugs me too. My teenage DD always texts me “okayyyyy” and I really want to reply “don’t you mean okaaaay”.

also what’s with the capital letter thing LiKe ThIs?

Not sure if it’s quite the same, but people writing on SM that others are “screaming” at them rather than just raising their voices or shouting, drives me loopy. “Hubby screamed at me last night for forgetting to lock the front door!” Did he though???

Oh this definitely. Like another poster I always hear The Four Tops singing it while someone interprets it via performative dance!

You 'contacted them' pure and simple Reach out actually makes not sense.

I still can’t get used to “reaching out” when people use it in a work context. “thank you for reaching out” makes me feel like I’ve sent an email saying “I can’t cope, I’m having a breakdown and I need you to send an ambulance” instead of “do you know when the proofs will be ready?”

who are you to dictate how women should live their lives? If you don’t want to go out & have a good time & post about it that’s up to you. Save the word gross for something worthwhile, you know, like judgmental people.

'No is a complete sentence' reminds me of spiteful 5 years olds saying 'N.O. spells no' when another child asks to join the game.
But my least favourite at the moment is 'wild', which always conjures up over excited teen/early 20s people trying to belittle situations and opinions they don't like. "Some of your opinions are WILD!!!" No. You just hold a different view. Perhaps try to explain what that is and demonstrate why you think what's been said is wrong....?

Four Tops had never actually entered my head before until now, probably because I've been too busy dealing with the hives that the phrase brings me out in.

I've now got Four Tops as an earworm 😜

Unless you are in fast flowing water or quicksand, about to drown you shouldn't be "reaching out"

Has "reach out" (to) replaced "touch base" (with), which was equally horrible?

Ahhh ASMR videos do my head in! There are so many of them now. Admittedly, I do like watching the ones that take the piss out of them, like Davetheangrytrucker with his DAF lorry and Tyler Butterworth who does it with his son and they look like they’re having so much fun with it.

Ah I love them- but that’s because it works on me!
