Social media users have been left divided online after a new slang term emerged to refer to the cost-of-living crisis.

The phrase ‘cozzie livs’ went viral on Twitter after it was used by someone on buying and selling app Depop.

A message between a seller and a buyer was shared on popular Twitter account Depop Drama and has since gained over 3.4 million views and 64,000 likes.

It comes after Brits began referring to the Covid-19 pandemic as ‘panny d’ while the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee was referred to as ‘Platty Joobs’ last year.

The other girl asked: ‘Cozzie livs?,’ and the seller replied: ‘Slang for cost of living crisis xx.’

Another person said: ‘Not a single working class person would call it ‘cozzie livs’’

While someone else wrote: ‘If I was trying to negotiate on Gumtree or somewhere and this was the response I got, I don’t care how badly I wanted the item I wouldn’t give this person a penny.’

It comes after the nickname for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee also divided the nation last year.

Despite pleas for it to be ‘stopped’, it seemed ‘Platty Joobs’ was here to stay after taking social media by storm with the moniker being used both genuinely and mockingly.

The four-day extravaganza was of course to mark the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign.

The nickname divided the nation, but even those who hated the ‘cringe’ turn of phrase couldn’t seem to stop themselves from uttering it.

Another said the nickname might be ‘the worst thing to have ever happened in my lifetime’, before admitting: ‘And yet… I’ve started whispering it to myself.’

Even Gregg’s, which is offering free sausage rolls with orders to mark the occasion, could not help itself, tweeting: ‘Enjoy your Platty Joobs sausage roll your Majesty.’

Others were less taken with the phrase, with one bluntly declaring: ‘Whoever invented Platty Joobs can get in the sea with Hollibobs where they belong.’
