    "You do you"
    "Live your best life"

    Completely useless phrases - "Oh me do me? Live my best life? Yeah, now it is all coming together"

    "Stay woke" ugghhhhhh, so tedious.

    Isn't that an Oprah quote - live your best life! Easy to do when you have unlimited money...LOL

    I don't even know what that means...it just confirms I hate all these motivational sayings people use...you see it on facebook and if I know them in person I often think really, you don't do that.

    I also kind of dislike the "basic" thing...except my daughter has one friend who uses it and makes me giggle...she's a tiny little mixed girl, very dark, like a little pixie, and every time she is with us and orders anything at Starbucks she concludes her order by saying to the barista - 'cause I'm a basic white girl....pumpkin spice latte 'cause I'm a basic white girl...caramel machiatto 'cause I'm a basic white girl...strawberry frappe 'cause I'm a basic white girl..always makes me giggle.

    "How are you today, Bob?"

    "Living the dream!"
    or
    "Any day I wake up north of the sod is a great day!"
    or
    "If I was any better I would be you!"

    A one-word answer would suffice...

    "You do you"

    I didn't think that was supposed to be used as "advice". Its code for I don't give a crap about your stupid opinion, *kitten* off

    I understand now why i was once woo’d for using this phrase. Ive always interpreted it in a positive way. Like, “there’s no one right way to do this so I’ll do it my way and your way is just fine too.”

    I don't think I've heard it in the "*kitten* off" context - it has generally been in response to someone struggling to please others in some manner or to live up to the expectations of others, and the consoling person says something like "Oh Linda, don't get stressed out about this - you do you! Just go out there and live your best life!!" Uggghhhhhh....
