snipe train

A lot of people responding in a group text at the same time, resulting in a line of messages posted at the same time. The two-person verb for this phenomenon is sniping.

When someone asked a question about nearby locations, many of the people who responded became slightly confused as their message got lost in the snipe train of answers.

Vagel train

The vape bagel train. A group of bros go to a bagel place and line their bagels to mouth height. A person hits the vape into the bagel holes and it passes through the holes into the other bro’s mouth. He hits his bro’s hit and blows it back, forming the ultimate bond of manhood. Immediately after the act, both bros and all witnessing bros must say “no homo” then eat the bagels.

Let’s go to the Bagelry and hit a vagel train!

Bro! That was a sick vagel train, no homo though.

the train to Hogwarts

Idiom. A reference to the Hogwarts Express in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, in which the train would ferry students to and fro the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In common usage, this is an alternative to "the silver bullet" in which "the train to Hogwarts" refers to a medium or channel which could be used to bring a high level (magical) of effectiveness or efficiency.

Social media platforms is not the train to Hogwarts for everyone. Each person's mileage and benefit would vary according to whether the platform suits the person's purposes and intents. It may or may not work for different people and businesses.
