The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

No shade intended but by any chance are you Gen Z or younger?
If so, there's some ingrained toxic social more context you might not understand because you grew up in a better society than we did.
But if you're genuinely asking...
I could keep going but I think you might get the picture.
Edit: formatting
I still have relatives that say "ugh that's gay" to mean "I don't like that".
I don't speak to these relatives anymore.
It took me years to break that habit. I also worked really hard not to use the r word to mean I think something is fucking stupid.
It was common to use both of those when I was a kid. It didn't occur to me at the time that it might hurt someone (again, stupid kid). I've still caught myself using the r word on a rare occasion but I can keep trying.
It's still common for people to use "narcissist" as an insult when it's the name of a mental disorder.
