The people have spoken: 'Vaxed and waxed' is the summer 2021 motto
Every summer needs a motto, and summer 2021's has officially arrived.
In 2019 we said "Hot Girl Summer," in 2020 we said "stay home, wear masks, and social distance," and in 2021 โ as fully vaccinated people plan to emerge from quarantine to safely reconnect with friends, family members, and beloved pre-coronavirus activities this summer โ we're all but screaming "vaxed and waxed" from the rooftops.
My mood this summer:
Vaxed and Waxed ๐โ downwiththethickness (@thee_thickness) April 15, 2021
That's right, people. It's only April, but "vaxed and waxed" has already emerged as *the* saying of the summer. People are tweeting the phrase, sharing the news with group chats, and adding the disclaimer to their dating app bios to let everyone know that not only are they fully vaccinated and ready to have a "Shot Girl Summer," but they're also waxed and ready to return to the dating scene.
Some may also associate "vaxed and waxed" with the "Snatched! Vaxed! or Waxed!" Saturday Night Live cold open from March 2021, which featured Maya Rudolph playing the host of a pandemic game show in which contestants tried to guess if spring breakers were โ wait for it โ snatched, vaxed, or waxed.
Is "vaxed and waxed" a ridiculous, thirsty, slightly annoying saying? Certainly. But we've all been through a lot, and we're excited to be vaccinated and get back out there. So we can have this unhinged motto as a treat, don't you think?
From adding rhymes like "ready to relax" to making saxophone jokes, here's an inspiring display of people celebrating their new vaxed and waxed statuses.
Hot girl summer 2021 is coming up baby. Ya girl is vaxed, waxed, and ready to relax ๐

If you're vaxed, waxed, or both, congrats. But please stay safe this summer, because the coronavirus still very much exists.
