heavenly birthday

someone's birthday after they have passed away

What people, usually millennials or Gen Zers, say on social media to pretend that their dead relative has social media and will see someone wishing them a happy birthday. Used a significant cry for attention, usually to pretend that all the people commenting on said post actually give a flying fuck about their relative’s corpse, when, in reality, it is the equivalent to wearing a shirt that says “Give Me Attention and Pity So I Feel Good About My Poor Life”.

What pity-seeking, depressed, and usually obese people post on social media to notify their “friends” that it would have been their dead relative’s birthday. Realistically, these are made to seek likes, because that is the equivalent to having friends in today’s sad, sad society. These posts also are designed to trigger the automatic response of their “friends” to comment the typical “so sorry for your loss” and similar “happy birthday to your dead relative”.
