TWO

Two things I had to google this week because my internet lingo game is weak.

1. Bae/babs.

My contempt for these two terms endearment knows no bounds. When I see babs, all I can think of is that it's a shortened version of Barbara. And then an image of Barbara Walters would promptly appear...which of course as everyone knows, is the univesal image for proclaiming your love to your partner. Also, I feel like you need to be rolling deep in stacks of cash and flashy gold chains (plus appropriately owning a set of dimond grills) to be able to pull off "bae" without sounding stupid.

2. #wcw

Apparently it means "women crush Wednesday". I say apparently, because the first search result displayed on Google was "World Championship Wrestling", which I thought was some kind of new cruel term to mock fat people. It didn't make any sense to me because in which universe would Rihanna ever be considered fat? Following the theme of obscure acronyms, I also had to google #tbt and #ff sometime ago, which means "throwback Thursday" "follow Friday" respectively.

Sooooo...assigning specific events to individual weekdays is a thing now.

Few questions though: Is there a list of events that corresponds with every weekday? Are weekends included? Can the T in #tbt represent Tuesday also? Why the need for so many pointless and ridiculous acronyms?

The point is. I am very annoyed at pictures with a barrage of useless hashtags la.

The trigger point for this rant, if anyone is interested, is a picture with 22 hashtags. Twenty fucking two. I'm not on instagram often enough to know what the acceptable number of hashtags are, but 22 different labels on a social networking site that works on the basis of photo sharing seems like an overkill for self-validation to me.

A sample of the 22:

What. I can't even.

I hope that I'm not being some kind of hashtag prude and that this a legit annoyance. Or maybe I am, because hashtag prude would almost seem like a natural progression for internet lingo loser. Lolol.

Side note: This is probably the most times I have used # in a single sitting. More than when I try to update my shipping address and the Forever 21 website repeatedly crashes to erase everything that I have just typed.

I am not in the best of moods lately.
