Trending today on Twitter: #sorrynotsorry. Let’s unpack that and spread its contents all over the floor. And accidentally step on some of it.
#sorrynotsorry means: “This is a situation where people often say ‘Sorry,’ but since I’m unrepentant, I’m just saying ‘Sorry’ to RUB IT IN that I’m like all ‘Tra la.’”
For example:
when I have my headphones on and I see my mom talking to me and I just ignore her #sorrynotsorry
I tweet my feelings, I don’t care what ppl say #sorrynotsorry
Driving inches behind me is not gonna make me speed up especially on Sycamore. I’m not trying to get a ticket because of you. #sorrynotsorry
After the second time you get back together, I stop caring about your break up stories #sorrynotsorry
However, this being Twitter, people are also using it to mean all kinds of other things.
There are plenty of plain old insults:
Just because you drive your dads truck… Doesn’t make you a country girl.

You can’t be a cute couple when either of you have cheated….
Some is beautiful self-acceptance:
Apparently I’ve gained the ability of snoring while in college
Some is self-delusion:
I don’t talk about you anymore, let alone think about you, I’ve moved on.. Nothing is about you gad damn it
Some is boasting:
Two doughnuts. Yep. Don’t even care

There’s quite a bit of commentary on language usage, which I love:
If I see the word “skwater” one more time I’m unfollowing you
A lot of girls are going around all of a sudden saying they know how to ‘dance’. Twerking doesn’t count..
There’s a big difference between your and you’re. College ka na di mo parin yun alam?

Some are stories. It was Samantha who posted:
Just had to convince some guy my name wasn’t Samantha and I wasn’t the girl he met on the square during summer. Oops, #sorrynotsorry
Kind of ironic I’m writing a research paper on drug abuse and amphetamines while I’m all jacked on addy
I think “Duck Dynasty Wednesday” is the stupidest theme we have ever had.
And Alex posts the essence of the thing:

Sorry not sorry.
