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”

'Fav' instead of 'fave' drives me nuts every time I see it.

NoDice77 · 12/06/2024 09:01

Another one “Only real ones know” accompanied by a random pic or meme

"If a person or thing is no longer serving you, cut them out of your life”

Yeh this in particular. Not everything and everyone is there to “serve” you!! Agh the self obsession & entitlement!! Also when people say “be the main character “ or “main character vibes” 🤮🤮🤮

Edited

I also feel like it's genuinely quite a dangerous mantra because it encourages a very transactional approach to personal relationships, which is not how long term fulfilling personal relationships work, at all.

"I have the receipts" meaning proof. Usually screenshots to prove that the person they're arguing with/about is lying. I just don't understand what is wrong with saying proof or screenshots? Receipts are the little bits of paper screwed up at the bottom of my handbag and they're not usually so exciting.

“To die for”

Aaarrgghhhh! Nothing is good enough to die for. And if you did you wouldn’t have it anymore, fuckwit.

maccaroni · 12/06/2024 09:03

Game changer especially when it’s used about something very ordinary!

My truth/your truth
My/your authentic self
Anything to do with validating
I was today years old when

Argggh your truth/my truth

otherwise known as an opinion

ClairDeLaLune · 12/06/2024 09:04

“I bet none of my friends will copy and paste this” shit story or message that follows. Or “I know which of my friends will say amen to this” or some such shit.

No I won’t. Fuck off.

Yup! There been a few on insta that I used to love now seriously going off due to this madness!

I saw one last night. Showing off her outfit (let's not get started on the 'hauls" ) and she had the stupid microphone stuck on top of a fork.

Prancing around, apparently all snatched in new leggings and her forked microphone.

Love X :
1- to the moon and back
2- to bits
3- the very bones of them
And yet still not enough to use original wording of your own.

😤

teatimeplease · 12/06/2024 09:05

You got this mama/mamma/mumma or anything similar.

Also tiktok mums when they post "controversial ways in parenting" with the most generic parenting ever.

Another tiktok one, mums posting what "mistakes" they have made as parents, including not changing nappies for full days, not knowing which milk bottle they had made last and giving an old one, not putting a coat on a small baby in cold weather because they forget- just things which are not mistakes just laziness.

Kneidlach · 12/06/2024 09:05

People referring to a mildly amusing comment as the author having ‘won the internet today’.

"Our little family is complete"

Funkyslippers · 12/06/2024 09:07

AngeloMysterioso · 12/06/2024 04:14

Oh god I’ve just thought of some more

“Mother is mothering” (usually under a picture of someone like Zendaya doing something entirely unrelated to mothering)

“Serving” (nothing at all to do with food or tennis)

If somebody did a good job of something they “ate”. Extra points if they “left no crumbs”.

Oh god, DD and I always say to each other "you ATE that!" But I don't put it on sm 😊

saveforthat · 12/06/2024 09:08

I'm not sure if this is an SM saying but what happened to the word "of" following because? E.g. I don't drive on motorways because of a lack of confidence has become I don't drive on motorways because lack of confidence. Also the words "to be", this kitchen needs to be cleaned is now this kitchen needs cleaned. It drives me wall (up the).

Picky Bits

There's a shop near me called this. Makes me want to retch when I pass it

AgnesX · 12/06/2024 09:08

Lived experience..... generally when it's bloody obvious it's the experience of the person in question.

Henrysotherwoman · 12/06/2024 09:10

Nom nom
Yum yum
POV
It's 'xx' many sleeps to
It's sick/dope/woke etc

There are so very many more.....

Fizbosshoes · 12/06/2024 09:11

I'm probably too old to understand ....but I've seen people take videos of themselves crying....and I can't understand why you'd want to film yourself crying with snot coming from your nose etc. I'd hate it although tbh I hate the sound of my own voice crying or not!!

LaMarschallin · 12/06/2024 09:11

AgnesX

Exactly. It's just "experience".
"Lived experience" is supposed to make it sound more valid, I suppose.
As opposed to "made-up experience" perhaps.

I lump it in with "standing in my own truth".
Well, give your feet a good wipe and don't tread it in to the carpet.

Picklewicklepickle · 12/06/2024 09:12

It’s so smug and makes me want to 🤢 For some reason it’s worse as an acronym.

WetBandits · 12/06/2024 09:12

Appalonia · 12/06/2024 08:37

"Let that sink in"

you see that a lot on Twitter, when someone has posted something they think is exceptionally profound or shocking. So annoying!

Also calling something " fire" ( i.e. great )

Just start replying with this
