"you do you"
a friend said this to me after i disagreed with his assessment that twin peaks should've been 9 episodes instead of 18.
This phrase sucks and is as bad as "live and let live" - the ultimate cop out
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 17:51 (seven years ago) link
even worse "you do you, boo"

^ ah that sucks

You do you and live and let live are excellent concepts and reactions to differences of opinion
You may disagree. You do you.
― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:20 (seven years ago) link
hmm. I usually hear "You do you" in the context of "That's a great hat! You do you, girl."
― President Keyes, Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:28 (seven years ago) link
Isn't the implicit tag-end of 'you do you...' something akin to '...like a dumb, aberrant clown who amuses me'? It's this season's 'ooooookaaaaaay....'.

Origins in African American vernacular so not widely heard in the UK

interesting the article focuses on the positive aspects of "you do you". It strikes me as a way to abruptly end discussion, another form of "agree to disagree".
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:57 (seven years ago) link
but sure it could probably be used in many contexts
Nothing inherently wrong with ending a discussion based on difference of opinion tho
― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
yeah, for sure
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:01 (seven years ago) link
I've always thought of it as a melding of "You go girl" and "let your freak flag fly." Did not know it had this "Let's agree to disagree" function as well.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:04 (seven years ago) link
You didn't know that? Well, all I can say is you do you, bruh. You. Do. You.

I only say it if the activity is odd but harmless. My son runs through the room with underpants on his head. I'm like, "you do you."
But if he's putting his sister's arm in the food processor it's more like "Stop that right now."

one of my old friends uses the phrase "poops" as a noun to describe an individual bathroom visit.
one example, she posted her weight online and in the discussion, said "after poops, I think I'll be at 105".

why is she posting her weight online?!?!?

it was one of those exercise/fitness milestone posts

stillthat sounds problematic
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 10 August 2017 23:46 (seven years ago) link
more so than 'poops'
lots of people who are starting a fitness regimen like to post things like that in a means of saying "look how far I've come", I don't begrudge them. though I see your point w/ the potential for people on social media to harass people over such posts

Anyone who discusses their toilet habits on the internet needs to examine their life, I would think.

(and yes I dont need to be reminded of the existence of threads here such as "most unacceptable thing to ever come out of your arse", thanks very much)
seems very weird to say "after poops I'll be <this weight>" since everybody in the world knows weight fluctuates by a few pounds throughout the day and can connect the (stinky) dots

A lotta people review their colonics on Yelp. I don't pretend to understand it, but the negative reviews are often good for a laugh

lots of people who are starting a fitness regimen like to post things like that in a means of saying "look how far I've come"maybe but if you are STARTING your fitness regimen at 105 lbs and aren't like 3 feet tall, there may be cause for concern
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 11 August 2017 18:14 (seven years ago) link
Or if you're 150lbs before poops

Turkey absolutely piss on England in annual per capita consumption of tea, so I wish shit comedy writers on R4 + dickheads like Rees Mugga would stop presenting it as something quintessentially English. Everyone knows in the UK only the Scottish actually grow any tea, and it costs a bomb and tastes like pish.
― calzino, Sunday, 13 August 2017 11:28 (seven years ago) link
I'm from the West of Scotland, we don't pronounce the word 'of'. Nonentheless, 'cuppa' seems very 70s, see below...
