Ugh… Right… Today I was at a place with my partner and a group of younger (not as in young, just younger than us) girls behind us. They were talking about some place they were familiar with and how cute it was, how they hadn’t been there in so long
“That’s like the most instagramable place ever!” I swear I could see the back of my skull, that’s how hard my eyes rolled
Told my partner, “I guess we judge places by how instagram worthy they are…” Their reply, “so cringe”
I don’t use any of that stuff. Still, I don’t have an issue with the language. It sounds like they just mean it’s cute. I use the word “Google” to refer to web searches, but I don’t use Google.
I think policing language is stupid. You can’t know what they meant from what they said. They could be saying they only like it to share on social media, or it could have meant it’s just really cute. I think judging the language of strangers beyond this is just a waste of energy and a good way to make yourself feel worse —I say this fully reginizting that I’m doing the same thing.
The important thing these days is: it must be Instagram worthy. That’s all that matters.
You could say that’s all that mattress? … I…I show myself out
You did good. You can stay
No, that pun was sheet
The picture’s not terribly Instagram worthy, but it looks like a really cool trip and I’d love to do that.
