Meme Schmeme

Day 9: What currently popular meme/trend do you just not get?

The meme(s) I don't currently get is some of the Instagram hashtags like #mcm (man crush monday) #tmt (transformation tuesday) #wcw (woman crush wednesday) #tbt (throwback thursday) #fbf (flashback friday).  And countless others.  Yes, I participate in the photo a day challenges because, well...I have to take a picture of something.  I don't just go to the web and pull off a celeb picture for #mcm or #wcw.  Plus, I just find it ridiculous.  I do like looking at some of the transformations (weigh loss) and throwbacks; but when people continually put up the same ones.... I also don't really get the meaning of the putting the sign language F next to your eye and calling it Fierce Friday.  Some of the kids posting it are not fierce at all.  And don't get me started on selfies.  I don't even really like the word.

A trend I don't get: those leggings being worn as pants.  I do not want to wear pants that show every indentation in my butt and thighs to the entire world.  And some of those leggings are just ugly.  I saw  a lady wearing some that looked like the leg muscles.  It was weird.

  1. I don't do much with Instagram so I guess I miss all those memes. Oh, poor me. And I agree with you about leggings. I have been trying to convince Harley they are made to be worn under skirts or long, long shirts but all the girls at her school wear them as pants. I guess they are okay if you are really young, and skinny. On adult women they are just a big NO

    1. I agree! They go under stuff, not out by themselves. Luckily Elexis doesn't like them unless they are under something. Those young skinny girls turn into adults and still think it's acceptable to wear them after having 4 children. lol

  2. OMG! I used to wear leggings as pants back when I was a teenager. hehehehe Leggings and big ol' oversized shirts. Usually button-up shirts. Sometimes with a necktie. >_> My mom pretty much let me dress however I wanted as long as everything important was covered up. Which, yeah, meant shorts underneath skirts and dresses. Thank goodness for the popularity of bicycle shorts back then.
