Chances are your go-to Instagram caption has, alas, become a cliché. Here you’ll find how these seven phrases have been brutally abused over the last year and why I am here to say, "Enough!" We all do it.  So let's vow to let these captions die peacefully. We owe it to them. 

1. “Game day with this guy!” 
Is he a stranger? Or is it he is so unworthy that you cannot call him by his name?  Which is it? Neither? Then why do you keep using it? Until you can answer each of these questions thoroughly you should not use this as a caption. Odds are that will be never.

2. “Plot twist!” 
According to Oxford Dictionaries, the definition of a plot twist is “an unexpected development in a book, film, television program, etc.” Therefore, leaving town for the weekend or going out on a weekday, does not make a plot twist.

3.“My ride or die.”
Unless after taking this picture you and your friend put on matching leather jackets, hopped on a Harley, and rode off into the sunset, this caption makes zero sense. 

4. “Can’t wait to marry my best friend!”
Well of course he/she is your best friend, would you marry an acquaintance?  How are you going to plan a wedding if you can’t come up with a more unique Instagram caption? 

5. “Couldn’t do life without you!”
You’re right! You can’t do life without them! In fact, you can’t DO life with anyone; however, you can LIVE your life with or without whomever you choose. 

6.  “Beach lovin’”
I don’t know who coined this phrase but, for their sake, I hope I never meet them. What goes through ones mind when choosing “lovin’” as an adjective?   

7. “Last formal, best formal!” 
Seniors this one goes out to you. Maybe it was your best formal of college and also happened to be your last, but this caption was over after the first person used it, whoever he/she was. You’re a senior, you should know better.    

Suppose you’re now heartbroken after discovering your favorite caption is now a has-been. Fret not because Instagram’s recent upgrade FINALLY gives us the option to edit our captions. Joy to the world!
