I have more questions about the “todayed”

"the fuck" being used in this way usually means that the action was super intense. Like saying "I ate the fuck out of that watermelon" means you ate the watermelon with strong intensity.

Pretty much emphasise to say that something happened to a really big extent. So in this context, today todayed tf out of me - meaning today todayed me to a big extent, still kinda difficult because it's pretty stupid slang but essentially means today was a really bad day

It’s usually a saying to say you’re exhausted. “Took it out of me” is the original phrase, so it’s a way of saying that you’re tired or drained

Today was TOO today for him.

It's a way of saying "something done to an extreme/excess" or maybe more than one might expect. "They beat me up" vs "they kicked the shit out of me" where in the first you're being descriptive the second you're putting more emotion into it and describing the degree of "kicking" to be on the extreme end.

Today was extremely "todayish" - it was a very today-like day, I was "todayed" a lot. Today was extremely today. It really isn't very meaningful. It indicates something of an intensity and shock about the day.

In this context it is a way of saying 'completely exhausted me' or 'drained me' As mentioned in the other comment the word fuck sometimes is used to present a sentence with a strong intensity

If something <verb> the fuck out of you, it means that whatever happened was done as much as possible. It can be positive or negative (though in your example, it's probably negative). Example (positive): "Your grandma seasoned the fuck out of this chicken." => There's a lot of seasoning on the food. It's delicious. Example (negative): "I saw two drunk guys punching the fuck out of each other last night behind the bar." => The men were fighting very intensely. There was probably blood. One of them may be seriously injured.

*todayed* is a verbed noun. "TF out of" is just an intensifier for practically any verb. It means today was really rough.

"My kids wear me out" = My kids make me tired "My kids wear the fuck out of me" = My kids make me so tired that it's hard to function It's an intensifier. Just like "get out" to "get *the fuck* out" or "shut up" to "shut *the fuck* up". Don't worry about using it. It's vulgar. As long as you understand it.

It basically means “to a great degree”. “Today to dated me to a great extent”. I’m more curious about the use of todayed as a verb.

In context, this means they did a lot of stuff, or difficult things, or just had very busy day without much leisure or breaks.

This is descended, after multiple transformations, from “scared the shit out of me”. Sometimes, when people are extremely frightened, they lose control of their bowels. This particular example has been almost entirely semantically bleached - the actual words used have little to no meaning and don’t follow typical syntactic rules - but the use of this pattern will be recognized by native speakers to mean “today was very challenging”.

I’ve never heard this. He’s using his own nuanced slang here. A more common expression you might hear is “today has been a day”. emphasis on “Been. A. Day.” With short pauses between those words too.

He did not have a good day.

"[Noun] [verb]ed the [swear word] out of [something]" is a casual way of saying "[noun] [verb]ed [something] A LOT". So you might say "this dad beat the hell out of the criminal who tried to kidnap his daughter", to mean he beat the guy up very severely. Or you might say "that spider scared the fuck out of me" if you yelled and fell out of your chair when it skittered across your desk. (..."Skitter" is a fun word. It's a casual word for the way a bug walks. 😂) "Today todayed the fuck out of me" means something like "today was too tiring/overwhelming for me", but the way he phrased it is funny. "Todayed" isn't a real word, but he's using "today" as a verb to describe whatever unknown thing the day did to him.

“The fuck” is just emphasis (saying “what?” versus “what the fuck?”). That is just derivative from old sayings expressing shock like “what in the hell?”, a modernized version of “what in damnation?”. The thing being spoken about has the speaker so upset they are questioning if it is damned/from hell. Using a noun as a verb is basically a lighthearted/humorous way of acknowledging that there are expected outcomes/experiences that go along with the thing being spoken about. For example “I’ve been adulting today” = I had to complete difficult tasks/had responsibilities common with adulthood “Today todayed me” = suggests that every day can potentially have occurrences that are exhausting or unpleasant “The fuck out of” = is just slang used to express that whatever is being spoken about exceeded normal amounts. For example if normally cleaning your room to you means picking up the laundry and vacuuming, “I cleaned the fuck outta my room” might mean you did laundry, vacuumed, organized the shelves, cleaned the windows, made the bed etc. “Today todayed the fuck out of me” = he had a much more exhausting/frustrating bad day than usual

Worth noting that "todayed" isn't really a word, but English speakers understand that it is being used in the sense of "today really did what days usually do" (ie. tired him out).

Today todayed me too fr fr

He's "verbing" nouns* and using a phrasal preposition[?] to emphasize what he means. Sounds like he had a tough day and he wants to relax the rest of the day he has left. *The practice of using a noun as a verb in a sentence.

"todayed the fuck out of me." "life had its way with me tofay" "random stuff really beat it out of me today"
gosendimensions
In this context it means using all your energy, taking everything out of something.

Nouns being converted to (non-existent) verbs for humorous effect is fairly common, especially on the internet. It's meant to emphasize that something exhibited characteristics typical to that thing, or that it is doing (or not doing) what is expected of it. In this case, it's difficult to really know what it means because we didn't experience what he did on that day. However, we can imagine from the tone and context that it was negative. Probably a bad day for whatever reason, maybe work problems or something like that. A separate, but very common example of this is 'the math isn't mathing'; this is a kind of newer expression with a similar meaning to the idiomatic phrase 'this doesn't add up', meaning something does not make logical sense. Or rather, that the logical premises of something do not align with the logical conclusion. Notice how 'doesn't add up' uses verbiage from math, 'to add (up)', which is probably where 'the math isn't mathing' came from. Math is very logical; 1 + 1 = 2, right? Well, take a hypothetical mysterious or difficult to understand situation. If it doesn't make sense, then 1 + 1 no longer seems to equal 2. That is when you could say 'the math isn't mathing'. The 'math' (logic) is not doing what you expect it to do (make sense).

It's a miracle anyone can even learn English anymore when this is how the natives speak online lmaoo
Relevant-Bobcat-2016
It's complete gibberish American meme language. It makes no sense to me at all and if you're learning English you should avoid it.
