The word “Vine”, once associated to leafy green plants, now refers to a new growth of creativity in the form of a 6-second video. These vines are shot (whether spontaneous or pre-planned) and uploaded online in a matter of minutes. Now you no longer hear about things “through the grapevine,” but are able to see them right away via your smartphones, laptops and tablets. Here’s a collection of Vines – hilarious, relatable, and all of them representative of Vine culture.
1. You know that feeling – you’re getting dolled up for a night out, your outfit is perfect, you look sublime and now just for a last minute mascara touch up. Bad idea, at least according to this Vine.

2. You love your best friend – you would do anything for her and vice verse, except put your hands together to create a heart, apparently.

3. Animal photos dominate social networking sites – it’s practically impossible to avoid photos of bewitching bunnies, cute kittens, tiny turtles and any other species you can imagine when browsing Tumblr, Facebook or Instagram. Here’s to Vines adding their share of adorable animal action.

4. We’ve all heard the song – “What does the Fox say?” (you just sung that in your head while reading the title, didn’t you?) but just like other fads from our generation many parents look at us and shake their heads. The mom in the next Vine clearly never wanted the Fox’s language to be provided in public.
My mom doesn’t like what the fox has to say:

5. Girls often seek to help their universal sisters out whether it is by writing a book, making a movie or video and releasing it for mass consumption. We all deal with the same issues and problems – we might as well collaborate. Check out this next Vine that deals with what to do when you don’t want to kiss him, know that your girls always have your back.
OMG I got a kiss!:

7. We all have that song that no matter where we are or what we’re doing, we must absolutely rock out to it when it comes on. Unfortunately for this guy, people just didn’t appreciate his dedication to the band.

8. Boys, if you’re reading this article, never assume a female is pregnant, or ask when she is due, unless she says something outright.
