Instagram Reel Scholar

Someone who thinks a 12-second Instagram Reel is the same as a PhD. Gives unsolicited life advice based entirely on vibe-based pseudoscience and captions like “READ THAT AGAIN.” Least qualified person in the room, most confident voice in the group chat.
“He watched two Reels from a shirtless guy in a garage and now, as a full-fledged Instagram Reel Scholar, he’s lecturing me about ‘ancestral masculinity.’”

Reel Racing

The sport of scrolling aimlessly, never decisively ending videos — a.k.a. “reel racing.”
An addictive pastime involving Instagram Reels (and similar short-form apps) where you convince yourself “just one more reel” won’t hurt… until three hours vanish and your thumb has run a marathon.
“Bro, I was supposed to study, but I ended up reel racing for two hours straight.”
