touch grass

Leave your screen

Touch grass is an internet expression telling someone to go outside and reconnect with the physical world, implying they've spent too much time online and lost perspective.

It's used dismissively toward people whose opinions or behavior seem warped by excessive screen time or internet culture.

You think that's a real controversy? Touch grass.

The phrase can be genuine advice or a pointed insult, depending on context.
