menbre
Short for Mental Breakdown.
Not to be confused with Membre (French for Member, Part or Division).
Menbre first emerged in Japanese youth language in the late 90s to earthy 2000s.
In Summer 2018 it experienced a sudden resurgence and made its way onto the English Internet, where it's commonly typed '#menbre' due to being popularized on Twitter.
The two most common use cases for #menbre are
1) Politely understating a major emotional crisis
2) Self-deprication or self-irony in describing a minor upset as a veritable meltdown
Determining which case applies is - as usual - primarily reliant on context clues, with instances without the #hash being likelier to be the former.
