An acronym that does not mean what you think it means. It means perspective, viewpoint, outlook, etc. It is NOT another word for "plot twist"!!!! Smh people.
Kid 1: Holy shit that ending tho.
Kid 2: POV: he turned into a zombie and ate everyone
Me: @Kid 2 What? Don't you mean plot twist instead of POV?
Kid 2: No
Me: Do you even know what POV means?
Kid 2: Yes
Me: No, you clearly don't. You say POV to indicate a personal opinion and you want people to hear you out. That wasn't a personal opinion, that was a plot twist because it suggests an alternative ending. Obviously you didn't want to say "I would argue that he turned into a zombie and ate everyone".

Me again: Here's an example of POV used correctly: "POV: bananas are better than apples". THAT'S how you use the term.
