What does JFC mean on Instagram

Instagram is strictly a photo sharing site. It is not that you can’t chat there, you can, through direct messaging. But 90% of us use Instagram to share images. Who does not like to share a picture on Instagram and fetch hundreds of Likes?

Now, when you are uploading an image, no matter how good it is, if it does not come with a good caption or an accurate hashtag for that matter, it might not get seen. And here comes the usage of JFC on Instagram.

Say, you have uploaded a funny picture of yourself on Instagram, and you have given a funnier caption, trust me, then it would grab many eyeballs.

For example,

Suppose you have uploaded a picture on Instagram where your hairs are completely messed up. Then you can give a caption, “JFC! Where the hell is my face!”

A friend of yours might comment on your photo, “What were you thinking? JFC!”

So, that was pretty much the usage of JFC.  I’m not saying you’ll have to use this acronym in the exactly same situations. Situations can totally differ, but the connotation should remain the same.

Note: With JFC, there are no strict rules regarding its position inside a sentence. This little vulgar internet slang can be used in the beginning, middle or last part of a sentence.
