Are you getting the bread?
Yes, I know the title ruins it, ha.
I kept seeing “let’s get this bread” references all over Instagram (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and had to look up what it means BECAUSE I AM OLD.
Basically, bread = dough = money, so the phrase can mean “let’s get this money,” like “let’s work hard and make money.” But a secondary meaning is more like a battle cry to succeed. And a third meaning literally means to get bread. Ha. Ha ha. So (poll below)…
Loading ...When I said goodbye to Steven this morning, I did say “go get that bread.”* Ha ha ha. And I may or may not have jokingly used it on Instagram this morning… I think it’s fun.
I also want to start using “thanks for coming to my TED talk” but I unfortunately haven’t said/shared anything profound/useful. Ever.
*We did not win the Mega Millions so we do have to go get the bread today. Ha. I enjoyed fantasizing about building our garage/workshop/guest house for a bit yesterday.

Yay, I can finally vote in the poll! I have not heard of this bread of which you speak…I’m an old-school dough girl over here, LOL.
We only got one number on our lottery ticket from yesterday so no house in Hawaii for us. 🙁
Woo hoo! I am glad!
Me too. I totally did NOT get it at first and had to look it up (obvs, ha).
Aww man. Do you get $2 then? Or was it not in the right spot?
LOL at ducks! Have you not heard of bread/dough being slang for money at all before? Or you just hadn’t heard this as one of those trendy IG-worthy phrases? It’s the latter for me.
I will use the crap out of this (until it annoys Terry… probably later today – HA!) but only to talk about actual bread.
I had not heard of bread as slang for money (when I talk about bread, I want carbs)! Of course I have for dough 😉 And I had not heard “Let’s get this bread.”
Definitely use the crap out of it!
The carb-y bread is the only kind worth talking about anyway 🙂
I had not heard of this bread/instagram phenomenon. Thanks for the education.
You are welcome. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk? Ha ha.
I’m familiar with using “bread” for money, but I’ve never heard it used specifically like this. That being said, I’m also not on Instagram, which I suppose keeps me from being ~with it~ 😛 That Venn Diagram is hilarious, and I’m glad this phrase came up just so someone could make that, hahaha.
Ha, I do see more trendy stuff like this on Instagram, but the Venn Diagram is actually from Facebook! BREAD! It’s every where!
I’m so old that I haven’t even seen the IG usage.
You aren’t following the right accounts! No bread for you!
I have never heard this in my life! Clearly I do not follow the right (wrong?) IG accounts. “Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk” cracks me up. I never remember to use it, though!
I think wrong, ha!!!
Maybe you will remember now!
Definitely a person at the bakery, over here…
Ha!
I haven’t heard this (and neither had Harrison), and I haven’t seen it on IG either. I still feel like I don’t get it, so I won’t be using it any time soon!
I think you can use the Ted talk one sarcastically.
I wonder who is actually saying this, seriously. Ha.
I used the Ted Talk one sarcastically all weekend. I gave a Ted Talk about baking hard shell tacos before you use them (something I learned just last year), and wearing a belt even though my pants are too tight. Ha.
