New boyfriend’s social media post has given me the ick

Slightly light hearted, but I have to say reading the caption ‘A dump of the monthly variety’ has almost made me clam shut.

Please tell me I’m being ridiculous…

Not to be obtuse, but I don't understand, at all.

Can you elaborate?

LittleLadyCece · 14/05/2025 18:42

Yep that’s pretty grim 🤣

Bonsaibaby · 14/05/2025 18:42

What does that mean?

babystarsandmoon · 14/05/2025 18:43

I think it means a monthly photo dump. They are quite popular with influencers.

TinyTempest · 14/05/2025 18:43

It means he had a big shit and felt everyone needed to know about it for some reason.

thats what I would have thought

not the shit type dump

Menopants · 14/05/2025 18:44

Yep that’ll do it

TeeGypt · 14/05/2025 18:44

I thought it meant he only did one dump a month, and was about to recommend prune juice.

PopThatBench · 14/05/2025 18:44

I fucking hate “photo dump”. I hate it. It makes me irrationally angry 😂 I just hate it, major ick.
Loads of lovely photos and people put “April photo dump” like wtf, vile.

OverTheHill2 · 14/05/2025 18:45

Yes, it’s a selection of photos!

I thought he meant a big poo

No3392 · 14/05/2025 18:46

Oh, I didn't think it meant photo dump...

Bananalanacake · 14/05/2025 18:48

He's done some decluttering and taken stuff to the dump?(Another word for tip).

TheMVPSTurningmyheartbeatup · 14/05/2025 18:49

FFS I must be getting old,who actually gives a flying fuck about deletion of photos 🤯

Utterlyincandescently · 14/05/2025 18:49

I think it's funny. It sounds like he's just making fun of influencers who say "monthly photo dump".

Not deleted, posted?

youandmeandadognamedboo · 14/05/2025 18:51

It’s definitely a no from me!

It's very "most excellent of evenings m'lady" /fedora coded so I can see why you got the ick. If he's generally great I would try to ignore it. Tell yourself he's been hacked.

BrandyandGinger · 14/05/2025 18:53

What age is he? A 22 year old doing a photo dump is OK but a 45 year old would be a no from me.

It's not a deletion. Its a post with photos taken during the month

Its quite common on SM.

Catwoman8 · 14/05/2025 18:58

It's a common phrase people use on social media when posting several photos in one post, normally from the months highlights or a holiday. I dislike the phrase myself and wouldn't use it, but equally it doesn't bother me if someone else uses it.

moveoveralice · 14/05/2025 18:58

Ah right, ok. I have seen this myself from people old enough to know better

It isn't cute of clever, and the word dump to describe multiple photos being posted, is puerile and stupid.

I assume new bf is Gen Z op, if not, then definite ick territory.

No. No it doesn’t.

Edited

I agree.

It’s quite funny. What’s his humour usually like?

Ablondiebutagoody · 14/05/2025 19:18

Why does he think people give a shit about photos of him? Sounds like a knob.
