Very Demure
Dead⏳OutdatedDefinition
From Jools Lebron's viral TikTok about being 'very demure, very mindful' — describing a modest, put-together, understated approach. Became a massive meme applied to everything from makeup to eating lunch.
Translation for Parents
A TikTok creator made a video about being 'very demure, very mindful' and the internet ran with it. Now everything is 'very demure.' Your kid eating cereal? Very demure. The dog sleeping? Very demure. It'll pass. They always do.
Examples
“I packed my own lunch today, very demure very mindful”
“I packed my own lunch today (said in an exaggeratedly modest, self-congratulatory way)”
“See how I did my makeup? Very demure.”
“Look at my understated makeup (used either genuinely or ironically)”
Cringe Score
Please don't
This had a shelf life of about 6 weeks. Using it now is like wearing a Halloween costume in December. People will know what you mean, but the moment has passed.
