👉 Okay, settle in folks - let's tackle this wonderfully…pungent little piece of modern vernacular. I haven’t actually seen a documented widespread usage for, frankly, quite some time now. It's one of those things that pops up, flares with a bit of internet weirdness, and then fizzles out again.
So, what exactly is "TNT-SDAY”? (And yes, the acronym is as immediately alarming as it sounds.) Basically, TNT-SDAY started in roughly early 2013 on Tumblr – I’ve cross referenced the Wayback Machine to confirm! There was this whole…movement of young women posting disturbing photos and images of themselves. They were accompanied by captions essentially saying they were about to do something really bad, really selfish, or just generally ruin someone else's shit. Now here’s where it gets…fun. TNT-SDAY wasn't actually about doing the act that was described. It was a threat . A very deliberately petty and dramatic threat. The point of the whole thing was to overblow your displeasure. To announce in a ridiculously loud and obnoxious way that you were about to unleash your most awful, spiteful self upon an unsuspecting target. The name itself? That's a little too on-the nose, I think, as it immediately brings the destructive potential of dynamite into the mix. It was meant to be a bit theatrical, you feel. A way of saying,
