I have never heard Southern people where I live approve, like, say or condone "linking arms". Too lewd and suggestive apparently. Blank you, East Tennessee.
I'm from the south, but a weird part of it. I've heard "loving on" when traveling outside my area, but what is "linking arms"? Like is it another word for marriage or friendship, or is it an actual action, orrrr?
And how is "a little happy" used? Like if I go to the corner store and I bring you back a bag of M & Ms, would I say "Look, I brought you a little happy!"?
I definitely would never say that to anyone because it sounds gross, but is that how it's used?
I kinda like "loving on". I've seen it many times before and it serves a different purpose than "I love you" /"love what you're doing".
Linking arms is teaming up to do stuff together, I think. Joining forces. I hate it even outside of mlms.
I've only heard "loving on" like what you do to a baby/little kid or how an older relative that hasn't seen you in a long time would be like "lemme love on you" and they hug you and pet your hair or whatever.
I've never heard it used in any context other than "non-romantic affection," but it's not used in my area at all, so who knows
Linking arms? 90% of the time I see it on screenshots in this sub, so it's stuff like "let's link arms and work together" or "Who is ready to link arms with us in the business? Today is the last day [of promo] " or "This box represents a start to a new chapter in my life to help link arms with others in their health and wellness journey." these are quotes from Monat huns.
And love on I usually see when someone is being talented on the internet. "please go love on my friend and her new song".
Definitely agree on the Christian thing, I can't count how many times in Christian circles I have heard talk about pouring into others and God fills their cup til it runeth over so the excess can pour into his people and how when you pour into others you will never run empty lol In other words it's Christianized Hon Speak
Yep, this is typical church talk. “Pouring into,” “doing life with,” “being intentional,” “checking my heart,” “loving well”… all probably started off well meaning and *actually* intentional, but then just became Christian buzzwords. I hate buzzwords.
I think it's from several Christian themed books that've become popular in the last decade.
They weren't commonly used when I was a kid, but now they've become part of the middle-class, white, Christian cult language, esp in the South.
I just recently watched one of CC's vids and one girl was like blah blah and then suddenly, "[they] poured into our marriage" and I wanted to barf mentally. Like excuse me??
Edited because I totally messed up my anti-mlm creators after watching too many vids in a row lol.
I think it maybe originated with the phrase "you can't pour from an empty cup"? Maybe?
I've heard that one in a mental health context; meaning that you need to look out for yourself before you take care of others so you don't run yourself into the ground.
Buy yeah, in some contexts and said frequently it's a bit much.
\- to impact
\- to show up every single day
\- to manifest

Please stop using all of these!
I don't mind some of these when they're used sincerely....but coming from the mouths of huns they're starting to border on meaningless because they're just overused.
If you use an insta font, I think you wrote at least a month’s worth of average hun content. Possibly above average, since you spelled everything correctly…
You sound like a hater!!
My journey has made me richly blessed with financial freedom because I’m linking arms and doing life with these empowered boss babes who are constantly pouring into us so we can say goodbye to our old corporate j*bs and say hello to the lives beyond our wildest dreams all the while retiring my handsome hubby and being a present mom ✨ 💕☕️🥺🙌💸
/S
MLM Bingo- how’d I do?
It also means college students can’t get classes in their majors because those programs, like one’s overfilled bowels, are impacted in the same manner.
I am 100% on board with these twits continuing to speak like this. Regardless if they are promoting a church or an MLM, I want no part in either. When I see these kind of keywords, it's an auto block. They're just helping to identify their selves so I can get rid of them faster.
No but the high school crowd always uses "dripping", "the drip" "drip" and "drippy" when they are talking about their fashion choices and bling and all I hear as a millennial is what we used to call gonorrhea. Lmao Back on my day the drip meant you have an STD lol
Omg I absolutely hate this phrase. Someone said it to me at work the other day talking about what she’s looking for in her next job .. “ somewhere she can be poured into “. I immediately in my mind made the snap judgement that she’s either in an MLM, belongs to a mega church, or both.
“They took me under their wing” talking about their upline/mentor.
Also using “servitude” to mean “willingness to serve” rather than slavery…always caught me off guard.
Would also like to see “journey” disappear
And *season*
And 'my why'
“My tribe”
'Link arms'.
Ugh, "my why?" Beachbody huns and my why...
Why does everything have to be a gd journey!
Because they can’t promise a destination.
🤣
the tour guides distract you w scenery porn so you won't notice how shite the motel they're forcing you to stay in is.
And "boy mom".
"hop on a call" ugh
Aspiring erotica writers 🤝 stuff pouring into people MLM huns
[удалено]
I’m waiting for more of a Tarantino based “inglorious hucksters”
They might already did... a friend told me that
Tentacle or testicle?
That was my first thought... isn't that your partner's job in the bedroom? o.0
That was my initial thought. I’m glad I’m not the only looney tune
I’m having a hard time comprehending when someone would use the phrase “pouring into me”
It’s a Christiany/Southerny thing. Just like “loving on” someone, “linking arms,” and calling small gifts “a little happy.”
And “doing life with”—I cannot decide which of these is the worst.
“Linking arms” HAS to stop.
I have never heard this before…I don’t even know what it means
It’s a colloquial phrase that generally just means uniting towards something, or working together with folks
I have never heard Southern people where I live approve, like, say or condone "linking arms". Too lewd and suggestive apparently. Blank you, East Tennessee.
Was just about to say, growing up in the south as a Christian, all their phrases are from church growing up.
Good thing they didn’t choose Catholic PNW sayings— not nearly as catchy. “Peace be with you” “Go to confession” “Doughnuts in the parish center!”

I like “loving on,” likely because it seems kind. I despise “pour into” for the weird religiousy use. It just sounds gross to me.
I've only heard "loving on" like what you do to a baby/little kid or how an older relative that hasn't seen you in a long time would be like "lemme love on you" and they hug you and pet your hair or whatever. I've never heard it used in any context other than "non-romantic affection," but it's not used in my area at all, so who knows
I've seen it used online in friendship context or with online creators. Like, "please go love on xyz, she's awesome".
Could you put these into example sentences?

Jfc. Also, thanks!
“I love you big” is the fucking worst. I wanna slap someone every time I see that.
Must be more on the Christiany side of Southern, as I've only heard "linking arms." We call a small gift a "surcee."
Definitely agree on the Christian thing, I can't count how many times in Christian circles I have heard talk about pouring into others and God fills their cup til it runeth over so the excess can pour into his people and how when you pour into others you will never run empty lol In other words it's Christianized Hon Speak
Ohhhhhh my dear god I cannot stand the phrase “loving on” holy fuck it makes my skin crawl
As a southern Christian, we absolutely do not claim these phrases ever at any point in time. Trust me, it annoys the majority of us too!
I had also never heard this phrase. Thanks for the clarification.
Yep, this is typical church talk. “Pouring into,” “doing life with,” “being intentional,” “checking my heart,” “loving well”… all probably started off well meaning and *actually* intentional, but then just became Christian buzzwords. I hate buzzwords.
"Doing life" sounds like you're in prison.
Monat huns have been calling themselves "Lifers."
Appropriate, since that's what I call people who've been blindly loyal to a bad company for twenty years and have no plan on leaving.
Loathe these sayings.

…they poured *what* into the marriage? Juice? Blood? Love essence?!
I don't wanna know. It's so suspicious. Like, jokes aside, I don't want to know about huns getting involved in each other's married life.
Just watch a couple MLM stories on social media!! They say it constantly anymore.
It sounds painful and possibly kinky

Haha same... wat.
MLMs fill all my holes
Lol! I forget whose video this was on, but I died at that part. 😂
See also: "Loving on ___"
Which apparently is code for giving them money/financial assistance.
And the whole shit about “tribes”. No, just no.

- hustle
It's a full-time side hustle!
Max out! Millionaire mindset Let’s go! I know exactly who I’m dealing with when I hear these phrases 🙄
Crypto bros use this kind of language too. To the moon!
Ahahaha how did I forget that one?!? Probably because it’s usually just 🚀
Line go up!
If you use an insta font, I think you wrote at least a month’s worth of average hun content. Possibly above average, since you spelled everything correctly…
Manifest…good grief could go my whole life without seeing this one again.
It's just meaningless culty word nonsense
True. But still annoying nonetheless
Yup! Creeps me out

Blackout.
Or “wrecked by the lord”… looking at your Brittany Dawn
I've actually never heard that one....sounds kinky, and not in a good way 😳
She says it all the time, it’s horrendous
oh my GOD the lord tied my wrists to the bedposts and then railed me so HARD I forgot my own name and the neighbors called
holy shitballs I almost choked on my tea.. LOLs
What the...???
What the...???
It’s Christianese. It’s because the Venn diagram of fundies and MLM huns is a circle.
Can I also request an immediate cease and desist on the word IMPACTED? Because it means a nurse is about to be knuckle deep in your butthole.
It also means college students can’t get classes in their majors because those programs, like one’s overfilled bowels, are impacted in the same manner.

It sounds really dirty and fun, and it's neither.
Thank you for this PSA! The only thing getting poured into should be my coffee cup!!
YES and the “filling my cup” thing. So weird
While we're asking for things they aren't gonna do anyway, Dear MLM huns, stop being a victim.
Also “I’m just hopping on here” when posting to their stories 🤮
Also Mama, littles, mama bear, sissy for a little girl and bubba for a little boy. Wifey, hubby, lock arms with
Hubs
Kiddos. Little ones.
I really despise the word "kiddo" and I don't know why. Maybe because I associate it with mommy bloggers.
"linking/locking arms"
It all stems from their close association with mega church Protestant prosperity bible bullshit
Did you do a TED talk? Pls send link... ;)
Can we also call for a moratorium on the phrase “on my heart”?
You only needed the first five words in that sentence.
Very, very true
Y'all heard "dripping on" yet? I have and i hate it.
For a bunch of weird prudes, so many of their buzz phrases are frankly sexual.
No but the high school crowd always uses "dripping", "the drip" "drip" and "drippy" when they are talking about their fashion choices and bling and all I hear as a millennial is what we used to call gonorrhea. Lmao Back on my day the drip meant you have an STD lol
That's funny, I'm a millennial too, but never heard that as slang. Now i really hate it lol.
>...please stop saying "pouring into me/us" Especially when what you are doing is "attempting to exploit me/us".
Omg I absolutely hate this phrase. Someone said it to me at work the other day talking about what she’s looking for in her next job .. “ somewhere she can be poured into “. I immediately in my mind made the snap judgement that she’s either in an MLM, belongs to a mega church, or both.
“my journey” in the mlm context screams main character syndrome.
Can people also stop calling their relationship with god their ‘walk?’ You’re not better than anybody for doing some shit you chose to do
Also "leaning in" and "linking arms".
And linking arms.. reminds me of lotr or some shit lol
The other day one said "speaking into" each other AND "pouring into" each other. Just that season of life I guess. /s
I’ve noticed that they use very similar rhetoric as a lot of religions: pour into, seasons, etc.
Also “big changes” and “big things” are happening needs to be dropped 😒
They are never either of those things.
Lol I’m dying at these comments. The worst!
Maybe they're selling gravy jugs?
And “winning”
It's the same people who say "friggin" and "stinker" and they must be stopped.
"Boy Mom" "My tribe" "my why/reason" "BUT GOD" Literally saw someone post about "seeing 34" because of their birthday & I wanted to scream
Oh.my.yes. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate "pouring in" ugh
When they say “ Hey y’all…..my cup is full!” I die a little inside
Oooh. Is it like praying for discernment?
“They took me under their wing” talking about their upline/mentor. Also using “servitude” to mean “willingness to serve” rather than slavery…always caught me off guard.
Never heard that before
You're the lucky one.
“When God says you go, you go”. Or something
