I have an old colleague on FB who sticks out her tongue in EVERY photo.

I suspect it’s insecurity and the need to make a ‘silly’ face so people don’t critique their look.

Same with the duckface thing. No one thinks it looks good, it’s defection.

Although I sometimes make the peace sign. It’s because I’m an aging hippy and it’s habit.

Presumably, it shows they have no intention of declaring war against your nation.

probably because they see everyone else do it so why not- stinks of herd behaviour and no originality to me but then again so does the vast majority of anything on socials that isn’t just a Joe bloggs.

Throwing up a peace sign is an absolute classic for group photos! Not a big a fan of the tongue though 👅

It's a great identifier of low IQ people you should avoid.

Vegetable rights and peace, maaan!

If you follow influencers, you have to expect to see inane, meaningless content.

TeapotCollection · 15/11/2024 14:34

I’ve come across some crap in my 52 years but “Influencer” is quite possibly the biggest load of absolute bollocks I’ve ever heard

Influencer my fat fucking arse!

Sorry OP, not what you asked

Suppose it gives one something to do with their hands in a photo and ensures the upper arms aren't pressed unflattering against the sides

Yogachick · 16/11/2024 20:40

So many great suggestions about basically why they’re idiots . I’ll try & avoid

I've never understood it either. It makes them look like absolute chumps.
