Are you also here looking for the meaning of FTFY because GenZs keep using it all the time and you can’t get a hang of it? Then you are in the right space! FTFY basically means “Fixed that for you”. FTFY is a humorous way of correcting things that one sees wrongly. It is also an ironic way of Correcting someone or something. It is a short form that makes comments shorter on social media and sounds like how GenZ would use it.
It is a way of expressing a correction over someone or something on social media. For example, “If you think that Delulu is the Solulu for all your problems then you are wrong! FTFY!”. Under this situation, FTFY has been used to correct someone and mention that they have mentioned the correction to some problem or situation.
You can also use it to correct a statement on social media or a comment or post on social media. For instance, “Retinol eye creams are better result giving when used before bedtime unlike how it is mentioned in your post/reel. This is even recommended by dermatologists. FTFY!” A statement or content over social media was corrected in the above case and FTFY was used to reply to this situation.
Similarly, you can use it to correct some typos or mistakes and mention it to someone, “You have mentioned your instead of you’re in the caption. FTFY!” or “The grammar in your German essay was wrong in the homework, but don’t worry FTFY. Look for corrections”.
You can even use it in the workspace when correcting something or suggesting a correction to be made. A way to use it is, “The report that you sent me earlier missed some statistics. FTFY but you can be mindful next time onwards.” Another example would be, “You mentioned the wrong numbers in your report, FTFY but check before you submit next time.”
It can also be used as follows, “You filled the form wrongly. Thankfully it can be edited, so I FTFY!”
In case someone has the wrong facts and you are suggesting or highlighting the correct points you can use it like, “I’m allergic to Kiwi not Peaches, FTFY since you got it wrong”.
