👉 Okay, settle in folks – let’s tackle this… rather delightfully obnoxious little bit of 2023 internet weirdness. You’ve stumbled upon, I presume, the baffling and frankly quite alarming phenomenon dubbed...'
seriously, a princess (’tis a typo, right?)’
.
Now, before you immediately think I'm rambling about little-dick royalty, let me assure you: we are absolutely not referring to an actual young lady of title. Instead, this has exploded as a deliberately obnoxious and aggressively dismissive way in online arguments. Basically, it is the verbal equivalent of throwing a wet fish at someone while simultaneously rolling your eyes and sighing dramatically.
Here's the breakdown. It started, reportedly, somewhere around early 2017 on Tumblr and Reddit and then spread like spotted mildew through various corners of the internet. You essentially use the phrase in response to something you find unbelievably stupid or aggravating—the kind of thing that makes you want to personally dismantle the argument with a sledgehammer of boredom. There isn't a precise, codified origin, it just…emerged as an exasperated, sarcastic, and frankly rather insulting dismissal.
The nickname, of course, is
seriously, a princess.
You don’t actually say the whole thing unless you want to announce your utter, complete, and possibly petty displeasure at the world. 90% of the time, it's just a clipped "princess." There
