taryne it up

(v.) A play on the phrase, “tearing it up”; in honor of Taryne Renee, co-host of the podcast Unsolicited Advice, the queen of awkward situations. When you’re in a awkward, uncomfortable situation that is so weird, it’s hard to believe it’s real and happening to you. It could be embarrassing or just overall confusing and feel like you’re being pranked.

Megan: Did you see Haley talking to that hot boy? It was so cringey!

Kendall: I know! She was really “Taryne It Up” out there.
