An instaguru is an instant-guru, someone who lacks the expertise to succeed in a given profession, so instead they give the appearance of success through social media (including Instagram) and build a career in coaching and training others to succeed in the field they could never succeed in.
It's a bit like instamash, but with instamash potato you just need to add hot water, and with an instaguru you just need hot air.
It sounds off because it is. Their victims end up paying for courses that send them in all the wrong directions, because, after all, it's a bit hard to teach someone how to do something you can't do yourself. They are also known for engaging in other dubious behaviour, such as dodging taxes, helping themselves to any funds they acquire access to, or paying 'colleagues' late or not at all when outsourcing.
Instagurus have been known to exhibit multiple narcissistic traits in many cases, appearing to convince themselves and the world they are doing good until they eventually get too greedy and risk exposure. They will exhibit narcissistic rage and in many cases seek to actively discredit and destroy anyone who tries to lift the lid on their scam or expose their incompetence.
Instagurus are rampant in a number of industries, particularly freelance professions, including online marketing, copywriting, translation, and design.

"I can't stand instagurus. I wish they'd work on their skills before ripping off their peers!"
"Just saw Jonnie is offering a course on how to win direct clients, except he's yet to win any himself - what an instaguru."
"There are so many instagurus out there, ripping off newbies. Talentless vampires."

Get the Instaguru mug.People who will follow you on Instagram. But once you follow them, they instantly unfollow you. In most cases this is done to keep their follower/following ratio in balance.
Guy 1: So Stacy added me on Instagram. But a couple days after I started following her, she quit following me..
Guy 2: She did the same thing to me! Her sister said she does it so who she follows doesn't outweigh her followers. Wtf?
Guy 1: What an Instagram tease!

Get the Instagram mug.It is when someone doesn't like to establish any accounts or post anything on Instagram, we call this attitude anti-instagramism.
Hey, Mark, you should stop that anti-instagramism, and start your Instagram account to cope up with the modern world.

Get the Anti-instagramism mug.More than just the opposite of exaggeration , an inaggeration is the removal of the colloquial interest which can be added to an otherwise boring sentence. To exaggerate would be to say you were paid a million dollars for a job you got 10,000 for, an inaggeration would be to say anywhere between 9000 and 11000. It is not exactly a statement of truth but it isn't incorrect enough to add anything to the story. More extreme cases of inaggeration are known as Hypoboles.
Guy 1: 'Chuck Norris is so strong that he can lift an automobile.'
Guy 2: 'Nobody has said a Chuck Norris joke in 5 years and you expect to revive them with that hypobole piece of shit. If you inaggerate once more i'm going to stick my foot so far up your ass that it will hurt a little'

Get the Inaggerate mug.An Instagram spam is a second account created by a person who wants to post whatever they want and as much as they want at any given time. The content usually differs for what they post on their main/first account. Usually, only close friends are allowed to follow these types of accounts.
