blue checks
Social media verification
Blue checks are verified users on social media platforms, especially the former Twitter (now X), where a blue checkmark once indicated identity verification.
The term often carries a dismissive or mocking tone, suggesting out-of-touch elites, mainstream media figures, or people who take themselves too seriously online: The blue checks are having a meltdown over this.
