As fuck, when rendered as "af", is definitely a redditism, although when rendered as "as fuck", it is not.

Not my problem is not even a common phrase. "This is not my problem", "well it's not my problem" is common to some extent, but just "not my problem" is virtually only used in nuWeb form (i.e. stated alone as a reply and/or with a corresponding picture, as in my example, sometimes associated with "boomer memes"). A little internet sleuthing will show that it is widely recognized as a meme, and further digging will reveal that its oldest instance in this form appears to be 2020 (I could have sworn it was a bit older than that though).

In fact, the reason why I said 'not my problem' is because it leaked out unconsciously due to how common it is as a meme. I only realized after the post was through and I was rereading it. In some other circumstances I could just as well have typed 'based' or 'cringe', as much as I hate all that shit.

Also, just because a phrase exists doesn't mean that the phrase is in common parlance outside memespeak, nor does it mean that the specific way it's used is normal English. A good example is 'cringe'. Cringe is a common English word, often used in real life in many situations. It has been especially popular in online publications for a long time. But it is used thus: "he got hit by the ball and cringed from the pain" "this is such a cringeworthy opinion" "I cringe when I think about that time". Never simply "cringe.", which is a meme.

Regarding the question of normie/normalfag: while normie is certainly very old and normalfag is far newer, normie made a resurgence as an attempt to purify 'normalfag' 'discussion' for use outside 4chan and entered 4chan parlance through the increased volume of outsiders posting there. It is also used as nuWeb slang and in the nuWeb "way", similar to "I am cringing about this" vs "cringe". The difficulty here is that the syntactic usage of both the new and old version of 'normie' is identical, unlike with 'not my problem' or 'cringe'. The other poster is certainly right that it's commonly used as a buzzword rather than, say, a convenient communication shorthand. Does it count as r8? You have said no, and so it shall be.

Is the intent of teh rulez "do not use nuWeb buzzwords", or is it "do not use phrases as low-effort buzzwords as is commonly done in other places"?
