Touch grass is a social media term for telling people who are always attached to screens to go outside instead of staying indoors all the time.
When someone says “go touch grass,” it’s simply a sarcastic way of telling another person to take a break from being online too much.
“Touch grass” is disconnecting from screens to go interact with people and get back in touch with reality.
How “Touch Grass” is Used on Social Media
You can use this term depending on the context or what is happening during that time.
1. When someone is online too much
If a person spends hours streaming games, debating with people on social media 24/7, and binging Netflix, you can tell them to “touch grass” to imply that they need to take a break.
2. To calm someone down
When someone is overreacting or being dramatic on social media/online, you can use “touch grass” to tell them to calm down.
