Social speedster

A social speedster is someone who essentially 'speedruns' through their social media networks, which includes scrolling through their feed like a madman, liking posts with minimum forethought, reading all their PMs under a second, and clicking on one insta story after another without any pause in the middle.

Social speedsters are also highly known for sending a snap in a lightning quick succession. The time it takes to take their phone out of their pocket, enter snapchat, and snapping a pic is only a mere 3 seconds.

Nowadays, most youngsters and young adults are social speedsters. This inclination can have its drawbacks, as a social speedster may zoom through their PMs but not respond to them immediately, and eventually as more PMs build up they might forget about the ones they've already read.

Me: My friends are all social speedsters. You should see how blazing fast they plow their feeds and PMs. Every time I send a message and it gets read and they never reply back, I sometimes question my relationship with them, but then I remember "oh duh, they are social speedsters". Can't blame them entirely, as they are just trying to adapt to today's information-packed, attention-based media.

The ultimate emote for flexin' your soft boi energy in a lowkey way. Drop this emote in the snapchat squad to let 'em know you feelin' cute but not tryna make it weird. Especially powerful when paired with "uwu" to communicate the feels through an intentionally absurd pastiche that critiques societal norms through ironic recontextualization. Can also be used on twitter when you want people to know you've got an alt af aesthetic but don't wanna curse too hard and get canceled by the stans. Definitely a vibe to throw in your Tinder bio if you tryna attract the art hoes and eboys without seemin' too try-hard. Using ":3" is the most effeminate way to keep it chill while still lookin' like a snack for the other soft bois out there.

Jenny: Omg can you believe Kevin asked me out?! I thought he'd never get the courage :P

Megan: No way, that's crazy! But also not that surprising, I always thought he had a thing for you ;). So are you gonna say yes? :3

In this conversation, Megan uses ":3" lightheartedly and ambiguously. It softens any potentially intrusive questions and shows she's keeping an optimistic yet non-pushy perspective on her friend's dilemma. The ":3" hints that there may be more nuance to her responses without being overtly cryptic.

At first glance, the colon-three emoticon appears innocuous and quaint - a simple cat-like smile. However, beneath its facile form lies multilayered semiotic significance and implications of textual play. The asymmetry between its innocent visage and the hints of deeper meaning evokes theorists of postmodern irony. Upon transmission, ":3" enters dialogic relations that imbue it with contextual valence beyond its basic denotation.

It signifies through apophasis - expressing more through what is not directly referenced or stated. The smirk underscores an ambivalence between genuineness and jest that reflects the problematics of virtual communication analyzed by Landow or Turkle. Whether intended sincerely or in jest, the sender relinquishes a measure of interpretive control to the receiver. Thus ":3" emerges as a Derridean trace - always deferred and differing according to the positions and preunderstandings that interlocutors bring.

The ":3" holds the ambivalent potential for cheeky subversion and sly subtweeting, all while maintaining an outward appearance of childish naivety. When others see you sending ":3" they know you are thinking on a higher level and reading between the lines. It is the emoji for the woke and aware.

User 1: Hey, want to go catch that new movie this weekend?
User 2: I'd love to! :3
User 1: Sounds good, I'll get the tickets. Let me know what time works best for you.
User 2: Can't wait! :3

Woof

Slang: something you say to express dismay, failure, unattractiveness, surprise or sympathy.

Generally means the same thing as the much later-occurring slang "oof".

A: I just failed my math exam
B: Woof

X: This burger doesn't look anywhere near as good as the ad
Y: Woof! That's an abomination if I've ever seen one.

IHOP

Not sure if everyone's just from the states, because here in Canada the IHOP restaurants are an absolute ripoff and scam!

A typical breakfast meal for four can cost you well over $150. Just one ordinary omelette costs $34. Five run-of-the-mill pancakes costs $18.

Excuse me but wtf!?!???

Just go read the Google Maps reviews for IHOP in the Niagara Falls region and you can see the countless reviews and pictures of the food. The quality is really nothing special, subpar even. And the portions are small.

There are plenty of other great brunch places in Canada, both local and large franchises, that serve better tasting food for MUCH less.

IHOP? More like I AVOID!

Him: Wanna go to IHOP?
Her: Sure! I could totally use some pancakes rn

Meanwhile in Canada....

Guy 1: BRO! I just got robbed by IHOP!
Guy 2: Oh no how much did you lose?
Guy 1: Over 150!! The food looked so sad, was like as if they microwaved it, and they didn't even give us bacon with our eggs
Guy 2: That sucks man, sounds like the worst brunch place ever.

Dab

A cringe-inducing behavior that is often done to embarrass your friends out in public.

Jim spotted his friend at the mall so he ran up to him and dabbed right in his face.

Butthurt

An oversensitive sore loser who throws a temper tantrum over the most stupidest things. Mostly experienced by NFTbros when people screenshot their "possessions".

Charles: *screenshots an NFT*
NFTBro: THAT'S MINE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
Charles: Jeeeeeeeez, chill bro why you gotta be so butthurt.
