Obv troll is obvious's definitions

Troll

We all know what a(n internet) troll is. It's someone who intentionally says something offensive or controversial within a forum or comment thread, just to elicit a reaction.

Unfortunately nowadays this term is often abused as an "argument stopper", where somebody calls someone a troll just because his/her viewpoint does not align with theirs, or that they refuse to believe what they said was true. That is not unwarranted per se, especially if the person unironically said something so stupid or misguided (e.g. earth is flat), but even a person with a reasonable point or who is telling the truth could be labelled a troll.
Person 1: Pineapples on pizza is the best thing in the entire world!
Person 2: Please stop trolling, thanks.
Person 1: k

Person 3: OMG I just found a $100 bill on the ground!
Person 4: No you didn't, stop trolling for attention troll.
Person 3: Wha....

Serendipitous snap

When somebody casually snaps a photo with no intention or motivation of getting it to look perfect, but it turns out to be absolutely perfect in every way. From the lighting to the angle, it's all perfect by pure chance.
Friend A: *goes around with their DSLR and snaps hundreds of pics of the scenery*
Friend B: *not really interested in the scenery and only takes one pic from their smartphone*
Friend A: Hey check out the photos I took!

Friend B: Ooooo nice, they look so beautiful!
Friend A: What pictures did you take?
Friend B: Eh just one, wasn't really paying attention to the scenery tbh
Friend A: Oh, well wanna show them?
Friend B: Yeah sure
Friend A: ...WTH?!?? Dude your photo is SO much better looking than mines!
Friend B: Haha really? I mean, I literally just took one randomly, I didn't even preview it afterwards.
Friend A: Damn, that serendipitous snap tho!

MANOVA

When somebody in ur stats course falls asleep, you yell "MANOVA!!!!!!!!" at them to signal to the entire class that someone has fallen asleep. More often than not, the person who fell asleep will wake up with this dazed half-awake look on their face, and then panic when they realize the entire class is staring at them.
When I noticed that Carl had collapsed onto his desk, I Immediately yelled "MANOVA !!!!!!!!" to alert both the students and the professor so that they are aware of the situation at hand.

After a few seconds, Carl wakes up with this dazed look on his face, rubs his eyes, and then realizes everybody is staring at him.

Normie memes

Normie memes come in all shapes and sizes, but generally most of them share the same "top white header caption" format with an accompanying image below. See the attached GIF for an example.

Normie memes also share other common properties, such as deliberate JPG artifacts, the overuse of emojis, and (regarding the caption) a pronoun followed by a colon.

Normie memes do not include the "impact text superimposed on an image" type of meme. Those are classic/old-school memes.
Dude 1: Hey bro, whatcha doing?
Dude 2: Oh nothin, just scrolling through some normie memes on 9gag
Dude 1: Oh nice nice

Social speedster

Definition: someone who plows through their social media feed like some crazed madman.

This "species" can often be seen scrolling endlessly in their Instagram feed, spending no more than one second per post or story. For social speedsters, the act of sending a snap is no more than a 5 second ritualized process. Upon impulse, they whip their phone out of their pockets, instantly jump into snapchat, and without preparation, posts a selfie. And remember this is all within 5 seconds.

But the most characterizing feature that distinguishes social speedsters from regular folks is their expressionless faces when browsing emotion-inducing posts. You'd expect laughter from funny memes or a "wtffff" from controversial/disgusting posts, but nope. Just a deadpan reaction.

Some scholars suggest that social speedsters are more often than not desensitized by all the content (noise) they consume, hence leading them to form an indifferent attitude. Ultimately, the dopamine-rewarding nature of social media is what drives the insanely rapid browsing.

The current largest demographic of social speedsters are: Gen Z, Millennials.
To see an example, attend any college (post-COVID obv). You will be able to witness social speedsters and their smartphone-wielding dexterity in the flesh. Heck, you may even be one!

gay people are gay

The phrase "gay people are gay" is a self-explanatory tautology, as well as a paradoxical statement. Gay people technically are gay, but at the same time the pejorative use of gay also leads some very sensitive people to conclude the opposite. Hence, it's paradoxical.
Bobo: "gay people are gay"

Kiki: "WTF DID YOU JUST SA— hey wait a minute, that's actually true"

Bobo: "hah, gotee"
