Sanitizing

The act of wiping your social media of all photographic evidence of a past relationship.

We broke up yesterday and I've already started sanitizing my Instagram. Once I sage my apartment, I'll officially be over it.

Maskerading

Fronting that you care about COVID-19 safety precautions for optics or to impress a match.

I was super stoked to find someone who’s also taking COVID guidelines seriously, but she’s totally maskerading! She posted an Instagram story last night and she was at a huge house party

Fauci-ing

Declining to date someone because you don’t feel they’re taking COVID-19 seriously enough

If I had a nickel for every time I found myself fauci-ing someone this year, I could pay off my student loans.

Stalk-blocking

Making your social media accounts private so prospective dates can't creep on you, because hello – no one likes a creeper!

So we haven't even met in person but he already "liked" a bunch of photos deep on my Instagram, and that's when I knew I had to start stalk-blocking.

Hey & Pray

Indiscriminately spamming every match with a basic "Hey there," "Hey you," "Hey," "Hi," and praying that someone will respond and be interested.

Ugh, this is the fifth guy this week to hey & pray me, what do you even say back to "hey"?

Tok-Blocking

When you watch TikTok all day and realize it’s massively interfering with your dating life.

Girl, you have to get off TikTok for a day and try a dating app instead, you’re tok-blocking yourself into staying single!

Twice Baked

When someone’s chat is twice baked and you have the same repetitive boring COVID convos, from sourdough to banana bread.

I just had to get out of that chat, it was so twice baked and I’m utterly sick of talking about the pandemic.
