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”

What does “it’s giving” mean?

Thanks for the thread OP - it’s heartening to see that others hate all these phrases as much as I do!

Women in their 40s dressing like teenagers and hitting the town. Documenting everything on social media. How many shots they necked. How many times they fell over and showed their knickers, how many times their tits "accidentally " fell out of their dress.
I cant imagine how embarrassed their teenage children must feel

Catsinpartyhats · 12/06/2024 07:48

All of these.

Plus 'the GOAT'

Purplestorm83 · 12/06/2024 07:49

“And just like that” as in “and just like that my baby turned 12 🥺💓💓” I know it’s from SATC but I hate it anyway.

Whatineed · 12/06/2024 07:52

Some kind of sarcastic retort followed by... "Sweaty 💅💅💅"

Are you perspiring? Do you have B.O.?

Do you mean "sweetie"?

Summerflames · 12/06/2024 07:54

When people post "I love you all the world". Fuck the fuck off, it doesn't even make sense, you irritating fuckhobbit! 😤😤

truetruebarneymcgrew · 12/06/2024 07:56

(It's so) Addicting
Reach out (to you)
Elevate (your game)

What the heck is the GOAT?!

LaMarschallin · 12/06/2024 07:58

Sweaty 💅💅💅?

I've been looking up the ones I don't know as the thread has progressed, but I can't find out what this means.
My best guess is something like "You’re trying too hard while I'm still chilled".
Am I close?

Summerflames · 12/06/2024 07:58

Oh and whilst we're at it, what in the name of cock is "addicting" you linguistically-challenged SM cunts!

I've got self-induced rage now.

Halfheadhighlights · 12/06/2024 07:58

I hate vibes too. My SIL posts it all the time

it can be anything, driving vibes, spring vibes, night time vibes. I’m not sure why the addition of vibes is necessary.

LaMarschallin · 12/06/2024 07:59

Ooh, ooh! I know GOAT
Greatest of All Time

I'm still young and hip!
(Not really - I'm old with a clicky hip)

Sorry - overexcited.
That was to Majellaa

Maybe they have no children, what age are people allowed to do this in your judgement

clarepetal · 12/06/2024 08:02

'Don't do this..' some random normal way to do a ponytail, then shows you how to do some elaborate one. Says original ones makes you look shit.

Fuck off. I'll do my ponytail how I want and it's rude to say it looks shit

berthaofcalcutta · 12/06/2024 08:04

People who give their kids twee nicknames. If you don't want to say 'my child/son/daughter' or use their real name, just give them a fake name. No-one will know/care that they're not really called Jack or Emily. Much better than 'kiddo' or 'the small one' or 'sproglet' or, even worse, when people make a child-version of their username.

Jifmicroliquid · 12/06/2024 08:05

Making memories
My world
This one
Anything where someone describes themself as ‘mama’

LaMarschallin · 12/06/2024 08:06

Agree with PP - hate "kiddo".
It's right up there with "doggo" and "pupper".
"Little one" is pretty bad too.

Calliecarpa · 12/06/2024 08:07

'I don't know who needs to hear this, but...'

'Hi, friendly neighbourhood [doctor/lawyer/plumber/whatever] here'

'Cry more'

betterangels · 12/06/2024 08:09

'Cry about it, I guess. '

Just fuck off, you absolute twat.

Dabralor · 12/06/2024 08:11

Instagrammers who start off stories by saying 'I'm just jumping on'

It's usually to tell us that they are 'ob-sessed' with something crap that you must buy so they get commission.
There's a guy called Hayderz on Instagram and he's hilarious at gently skewering all these social media tropes, I love him.

“And that’s how I learned I had ADHD/ASD” because apparently if you kick an ice cube under the fridge, that means you have ADHD (or insert any completely normal activity that apparently if you do, you are neurodivergent)

This here, is the kind of thing I, and a few others, have referred to when said that we're sick of people online just "saying" they are ND for any random reason then playing up to stereotypes like it's not a total mockery. We get absolutely ripped to shreds on here for pointing it out.

I completely agree with you, by the way.

clarepetal · 12/06/2024 08:13

The people that add stupid music to their stories on Facebook.

Fuck off.

Particularly normal songs sped up resulting in that stupid high pitched voices.

GoodVibesHere · 12/06/2024 03:01

'So this happened'

'A cheeky coffee'

see also: so i did a thing

("making memories" makes me rage)

I'm not on any social media platform and actually feel better for it (45 yo).
It's mostly bollocks and pretence.

Mumsnet is a social media platform.
