Where did this phrase come from? And how do we get rid of it? It is beyond overused at this point.

Tell me you’re plugged in on social media without telling me you’re plugged in on social media.

I'd assume a sub 28 year old white woman on Twitter.

I like it. Sometimes it’s the perfect phrase to use.

somewhere online, a long time ago. Was somewhat clever and amusing when it was new

it just has to die out like most other internet lingo. This website takes longer than most for that to happen

welcome to tigerdroppings. Unmatched for picking up and latching onto some internet colloquialism when it's popular, then absolutely running into the gd ground months, or occasionally years, after it's shelf life has expired. I guarantee you people will still be fumbling and stumbling over this punchline well into 2024 on here. Absolutely guarantee it.


ETA: apparently it started circa 2019/2020: LINK

I thought it became popular after 40 y/o virgin or one of the movies that came out at that time. or maybe that was "you know how I know you are gay" line.
