finsta

What it means

A "fake Instagram," meaning a secondary, private account followed only by close friends where you post your unfiltered, messy, or silly content. It's the opposite of your polished main account (your "rinsta" or real Instagram).

Examples

• Only like 20 people follow my finsta and that's the point.
• She posts her real life on her finsta, not the main.
• Add me on my finsta, the chaos lives there.
• My finsta is just unflattering selfies and oversharing.

Where it comes from

A blend of "fake" and "Insta" (Instagram) that emerged among teens around 2015-2016 as a way to escape the curated pressure of main accounts and post freely to a trusted circle.
