Terms used by "influencers".. Arrrghhh!

[Milik]

Browsing at my Instagram this evening and feel a need to have a rant lol.
Influencers talking about Sunday night "reset" in videos about simply planning for the week ahead. I mean mundane things like ironing school uniforms, tidying up the kitchen.. Just normal tasks that are familiar to most of us. Why call it a "reset"?

Similar is when an influencer is posting videos of themselves in new clothing items.. Lets say new shirt or jacket etc. They call it a "piece". As in I got this piece in x shop..
Why not just call the item whatever it actually is?

Ah yes the reset. Fucking awful,

I’m not sure if it’s an influencer thing because I don’t really watch them, but I’ve noticed a lot more people talking about how they “caught feelings” for someone, and I cannot bear it.

That may come from Married at First Sight Australia.

I hate the viral items of clothing. They start with ‘ everyone is talking about these viral jeans’. Er no they are not

Current obsession or obsessed with !

“Chef’s kiss” 🤮

"Tell me you're a boy mom without telling me you're a boy mom"

The I am on a wellness journey. No you are on a diet!!

Language moves on across the years. It’s just the way it is.

This is your sign too...

PR stay

Describing anything as a "journey"

“Run, don’t walk…. to buy this overpriced piece of rubbish that I’m being paid to promote”

Get ready with me/cook dinner with me/restock my X with me. Surely you just mean watch me get ready/cook dinner/fill some clear plastic trays with bits of crap.

“I don’t know who needs to hear this, but…”

Referring to an item of clothing or a handbag as "she".

I absolutely hate “all things x”. It all over Linked In.
eg. It was lovely to see Amelia today to talk all things wedding flowers!
It’s been amazing collaborating with my team on all things EDI this week.

Aargh

‘Unreal’ ‘literally obsessed’

I do quite like ‘reset’ though. I’m not very good at picking up as I go along so it does feel like the house needs resetting by the end of the week.

That hand movement they do, like imitating a sock puppet. 🤏 like this but with all four fingers meeting thumb.

Also, holding things up to the camera with the palm of the other hand as background when totally unnecessary.

Actually, all or each other’s affectations that they copy. And I only ever see them in recipe reels on Facebook! Don’t even have any other SM so am guessing they’re rife there if they’ve made it over to my ancient FB page.

Also, “I was today years old when…”

“I’m gagged.”

No you’re not, but I wish you were.

“Everyone has been asking about my XXX”

Don’t fib Katie, no one has been asking, and don’t instruct me to click though to you LTK to find out your jeans came from M&S

Did you know that... Usually followed by a very basic recipe like did you know that if you mix 3 eggs, some cheese and some spinach you have a quick healthy omelette!

And not a phrase but the tapping of products with nails drives me mad!

“This one simple trick…..”

“It’s giving…”

”I don’t know why I’m so scared!” [to try this new flavour of matcha]

I hate the fingernails tapping on everything.
