Gen Z brought back an old meme to respond to bad takes on social media. If you’re chronically online, you might be seeing or hearing the phrase “Oh, that’s not-” across comments sections on TikTok, quotes tweets, and now even in IRL teen conversations. It actually comes from a 2015 clip of Kelly Osbourne making a remark her co-host disagreed with, and the cutoff is even part of the original quote. So, it’s used when someone posts something others disagree with but mostly think is coming from a place of ignorance. After making the rounds on TikTok in 2023, it’s now becoming part of colloquial “brainrot,” a.k.a. any popular phrase. However, it seems to have cycled through to over-use territory, as replying “Oh, that’s not-” to a not-so-controversial opinion is common. (Daily Dot)
