🔘 Deinfluencing
◻️Telling social media users what not to do
Deinfluencing is a trend on social media where influencers share what not to do (typically what not to purchase) with their followers. For example, an influencer may have a bad experience with a car rental service and share it with their followers, deinfluencing them to go with that service.
You will likely see deinfluencing on social sites like Instagram and TikTok. The posts often consist of a video of an influencer revealing an awful experience with a product, debunking the hype around a product, or sharing an overview of several products and outlining what not to buy.
Origin of deinfluencing
The origins of the "deinfluencing" trend are unclear, but it began in early February 2023. Some claim that deinfluencing is a direct response to the sponsored content (sponcon) influencers often push. For many Gen Zers and millennials, the influencer culture has grown stale, and they want more honest content, which includes what not to buy or try.
❓Example
Deinfluencing is a breath of fresh air on TikTok.
They are still telling you what to do. They'll have to deactivate their social media to really start deinfluencing.

🔘 OP
◻️Overpowered
Gamers use OP to discuss items, skills, characters, and bosses that are "overpowered." Being OP is generally not a good thing - as gamers prefer the games they play to be balanced contests of skill, and not decided by one overpowered game element.
In online games, patches often add new characters, classes, or other elements that are OP in comparison to other elements. For example, League of Legends (LOL) routinely adds new champion s that are initially OP, before being nerfed in later patches. (After players have already purchased them, funny how that happens.)
However, gamers (especially noobs) tend to overuse the term OP. Salty players may claim a certain game element is OP when, in reality, they're just sore losers.
❓Example
Death knights are so OP now after that last patch. It's totally unfair.

What does BLTN stand for?
◻️Better late than never
BLTN is an acronym for "better late than never" and is used online or in text messages. It is meant to communicate that being late isn't great but it could be worse, like if you didn't show up at all.
It is typically used by a person that is late to an event as an excuse for his tardiness. To avoid any lecturing, it is best to just be on-time.
❓Example
I finally sent them a wedding present on their first anniversary. BLTN I guess.
