A Grindr euphemism for “I deleted this app and came back”. When you delete Grindr, unless you have chat backups on, your chat history is deleted. While putting this in a profile has a practical use (e.g. “if I hit you up again it’s because I don’t remember if I already did”) it’s unspoken meaning is more important.

A phrase probably used by many through the years, also known from “Lost Angels” (1989 film), but most recently in the “Kid 90” film by Soleil Moon Frye. Lost Angel can relate specifically to Los Angeles babies, but one would say can relate to all teenagers. Teens going through the trials and tribulations from innocence to adulthood, while experiencing euphoria, trying to find the meaning of life, and what will come when this ‘great big party’ is over.
“ We’re all just a bunch of fucking lost angels trying to find our way to the right track.” - Soleil Moon Frye (actress and 90’s kid)
