What does "reply guy" mean in social media slang?
The term "reply guy" describes a social media user—often assumed to be male—who frequently responds to posts in an unsolicited, overly familiar, condescending, or attention-seeking way. The structure combines "reply," referring to commenting on posts, with "guy," used generically to label the behavior type. It is informal internet slang, usually mildly derogatory, used to criticize persistent or unwanted engagement in comment threads.
Examples
He 's just another reply guy trying to get attention.
