#these things are so stupid. Yeah, that was a toned down version of what people do with hashtags. Usually they put on in front of every single word. Why? "Oh it gets you noticed on instagram". First of all, that gives me yet another reason not to get an instagram. Second, why do you need to get noticed on instagram in the first place? How does this help your life exactly? Are people during a job interview going to pull up your instagram and be like "oh whatta ya know! You have ten million followers, you're hired!"
Guess what? The only reason they'll even bother to look at your instagram is to see if you have any suspicious pictures. They'll check that party you went to, those friends you hang out with, and that "root beer" you drank at someone's house. So sorry hashtag whores, those things won't get you anywhere. And who the hell decided to call "#" a "hashtag"? You know what it is? That "#" is a POUND SIGN! Not hashtag, pound sign.
I tried explaining this to some people I know who use hashtags constantly, and you know what they told me? "No it's hashtag. It's 2013" I don't give a smelly monkey's ass what year it is! I know it's 2013. What the hell does that have to do with you using hashtags? Telling me the year doesn't change the fact that this "#" little symbol is called a pound sign! Even if they were making the point that "hashtag" is the term for pound sign in 2013, that's still stupid. "Hashtag" is a slang term. Just because, for some dumbass reason, people call this "#" hashtag, doesn't change the actual meaning of the sign. The actual meaning is POUND SIGN. That's like saying "weed" is the real term for marijuana because people call it that. It's not actually called "weed". It's actually called marijuana. "Weed" is slang.
But you know what's just as stupid? Abbreviations of words. Yeah, I'm talking about "totes", "obvi", "whatevs" and the most infuriating "cray cray". Plus I recently heard of "so awes" which I guess is what people say for "so awesome" now. Sweet Jesus, this is even worse than the hashtags. How could we degrade our speech down to such ridiculous abbreviations? Is it so hard to say the entire word? People who talk like this sound like they have an IQ of two and a half, if they're lucky. Also, "cray cray" has the same number of syllables as "crazy", only you don't sound like a dumbass when you say "crazy." So what the hell?
