   Ive never heard anyone unironically (or ironically) say the phrase "on fleek" like ever. Did people actually say that in the early/mid 10s

     @Mondobizarrro like most "cringe" slang it was black folks that started it and white people using it and making fun of it that ruined it

     @eris i wasnt calling it cringe because i never heard anyone really say it. So i have very little opinion on it other than it sounds kinda funny.
     
     Also again only time i heard it was from white people trying to sound hip while being tone deaf af

     @Mondobizarrro it has somehow made its way into German youth vernacular. Like it was never used extremely often, but it used to be a phrase I'd hear semi-regularly in German sentences
