Cursed Snapchat 

A cursed snapchat is when you use a try it with a friend snap and the other one joins on an object behind you
Girl 1: Oh my god! Look at this! I did a Snapchat filter and it put it on an object behind me!
Girl 2: OH SHIET. THAT'S A CURSED SNAPCHAT!! You have ghosts!!
As defined by the r/cursedimages mods: an image/video that causes confusion, eeriness or dread; or where the following questions are difficult/impossible to answer:

Who?: Only applies if there is someone in the image itself who the common person would not know the identity of. It does not apply to the question "Who did/made this?" since that applies to nearly every image.

What?: Either applies to "What is this?" if "Who?" does not apply, and always applies to "What is happening?" Even if you can tell what is happening, this question can be rhetorical if the situation is purely absurd in nature.

Why?: Applies to "Why is this happening?" or "Why did someone do this?" or "Why would any sane person do this?".

How?: Applies only if an action is being done or has been done in an image to wonder how it happens. If it can be reasoned as to why, this question does not count.

In a similar vein, cursed comments make you think: "What the hell did I just read?", "Why would anyone type this out?". They tend to be overly edgy comments.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
