My son told me that DTF means “Doing the Face Book”, but I sometimes see it being used in other sites that I like to visit that aren’t social media sites. Does the Face Book really carry that much weight on the Internet? What does “Doing the Face Book” really mean exactly?
Well don’t know if he is shitposting but for the longest time I thought Netflix and chill was just inviting someone over and watch a movie. Until the other day someone told me that the expectation is to fuck.
I hear it more in-person recently, but also online. What does “out-of-pocket” mean when describing behavior? I’ve only ever heard it used to describe financial circumstances until a couple years ago.
It seems like it’s roughly synonymous with “crazy” or “rude” or “unexpected”, but I’d love to have it explained better.
“out of pocket” is what you pay, but may not be the total cost of the item/service. “I only had to pay $50 out of pocket and my insurance covered the rest”
It can also be used in business to mean unavailable. “I have to take my kid to the doctor and will be out of pocket for a couple of hours”
In finance, out-of-pocket is synonymous with cash on hand, liquid assets. Means you can pay now without needing to incur a debt.
In business, out-of-pocket is usually synonymous with out-of-office, like AFK Away-From-Keyboard. Often shorter term than being fully on vacation. “I’ll be OOP after 2pm for a doctor’s appt.”
I have recently heard out-of-pocket used among youngsters or the terminally-online to mean rude or crazy, like you said. “Beyond the standards of normalcy”.

I know y’all had a rough start growing up online, but that word really used to be important to us grey beards who watched all this online stuff unfold over the decades.
Sometimes I wonder if the younger folks have forgotten or don’t realize you don’t have to document your life on the internet.
Twitch is a popular live stream platform, on it users can post emotes which have names. One of the oldest and most popular emotes is pogchamp, it used to be the face of a streamer who made the expression after winning a game of pog but he got banned for some controversial statements (typical right wing covid denial, jan6th apologia) and the emote was replaced with a lizard making a similar face. This has slowly bled into the mainstream just as the word pog or poggers.
The facial expression sums up it’s meaning, but it’s basically one of shocked happiness, you would use it if a streamer does something rare/lucky/skillful. Luke sky-walker turning off his targeting computer but still destroying the deathstar is poggers. Getting an A on a multiple choice test despite guessing every answer is poggers.
It’s an expression of shock and excitement. It comes from a specific image that became a Twitch emote of the same name. If you look up “pog” or “pogchamp”, you should find the image. The face pretty much speaks for itself. It’s one of the staples of Twitch chat culture
The term has also evolved in everyday speech as essentially being equivalent to “sick” or “dope”
That’s true, but I believe in this case it’s a double meaning referencing a twitch streamer playing that game Pog, and the acronym “Play Of [the] Game”.
