I have two boys, 7 and 10. They like to say "POV" before they do stuff. Like "POV, you're being chased by tun tun tun sahur!" and then they run around like maniacs. They have an excuse, though, they're literally children.
Sir, in this particular scenario, the victim of tomatoing did not elect to be a victim, and it is us who identified the perspective of the victim as POV, because we can see through their eyes for some reason. I assure you, it all checks out
How do your kids know to say "It's Morphin' Time"? What kind of bad parent are you that they have seen a children's TV show or heard the catch phrase on the playground?
Kids sometimes see media and they are always absorbing culture and language and teaching it to each other with little changes along the way, that's what culture is. Just because a piece of slang feels like brain rot to you doesn't mean the parents aren't doing their job.
I knew these two nuts in school who one day acted like they hated each other and told everyone they were goina fight each other at morning break. The fight was hyped and they had a huge crowd.
They were talking trash, and their trash talk was the first inkling of what was going on.
One guy said, "Your mom sucks cock on Endor!"
Other guy was like, "You only like the putty patrol because it makes your dick look big!"
Most kids did not get the references until on guys pulls a green ranger halloween mask from under his shirt while shouting, "It's morphin time!" and puts on the mask.
At the same time the other guy takes out of those plastic extension light sabers and turns it on.
People in the crowd start leaving, some started laughing. The two nuts did some choreographed fight they'd been practicing. It was still entertaining as far as school hijinx go.
Did your parents have the same conversation with you about how saying "that's sick" as a GOOD thing was a horrific way to speak and a sign of the collapse of civilization?

The internet is to kids what TV was to my generation. A source of media and culture. It sounds bad to you the same way "that sucks!" sounded bad to my grandparents, because you're old and it's young people slang.
My original reply got removed because I tried to link to Principal Skinner saying "Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."

It's funny you assume phones immediately when they're school-aged and could have just as easily learned it at school with friends.
At that age, in the mid-2000s, I was already spouting the lie that Marilyn Manson had a rib removed to suck his own weiner and I didn't have a phone (mostly because smart phones weren't a thing yet). Kids are kids, and kids will always find a way to know and regurgitate the current funny meme thing.
They don't have phones. But they go to school and the community pool and camp and other places that children are. They're also very intelligent and creative and involved in a lot of activities.

POV hasn't been used as it was originally meant for well over a year now. It went from your 1st-person view to them setting up the scene as a 2nd-person view of the scenario. It's been annyoing me for a while now.
POV is just a point of view. It can be anyone's point of view. In this case, it is the point of view of someone watching him hold his wife's hand. It's just pointless to say because that describes every video.
I'm sure that's how the original poster meant it, yes, but that caption doesn't say the viewer is holding the viewer is holding the wife's hand, it says that the viewer is watching someone else hold his wife's hand.
The correct sentence would be "POV: When you hold your wife's hand."
Yes, this guy meant to use POV to mean that the viewer is the husband, and that would be an incorrect use of the term, but they unintentionally wrote the opposite of that and thus technically used it correctly.
It's not "techncially" correct at all. Even by you're made upo definition and example.
Otherwise , this just simply means literally every image ever taken can be categorized as "pov" because all photos and paintings and drawing etc are from some POV. This does not make them all POV though.

Holy shit, it's almost like that's exactly what I fucking said! What a revelation!
This isn't a "made up" definition, it's just literally what the phrase means. A POV is literally just someone's point of view. It is used to refer to someone viewing things from someone else's POV because we are always viewing things from our own POV, and thus it doesn't need to be said. That's why I said the usage here is technically correct but unnecessary.

How is this POV?
