- A standard reply to anything the poster thinks is overused faggotry or otherwise ruining the board in question.
- /dis/
- This and /sug/ were removed.
- /sug/
- This and /dis/ were removed.
- 4chan meme committee
- A thread started where a user in /b/ pasted the line "Hey guys, I'm from the 4chan meme committee, this image attached to this thread is going to be popular pretty soon, so you better save it now" with a random picture. The entire thread was replies in a similar fashion.
A
- ADTRW
- The anime sub-forum of the Something Awful forums. moot and a large majority of the founding 4chan team originally met here, and a few rules (such as "no furry") have been borrowed from it. There is an ongoing 4chan thread in ADTRW that is bumped every couple of weeks for apparently no reason at all.
- Adella
- A rather infamous Aeris cosplayer that's known to be an egocentric bitch. Causes much drama in /cgl/. True story.
- Akanishi Jin
- Pop artist and reverse trap from a Japanese group called 'KAT-TUN'. Pictures of Jin are usually posted by fans of said group and posts usually consist of text saying 'this is jin ____'. The first Jin thread was made on September 4th and lasted a good four hours before it was saged. Other resident /b/tards believe it is a forced meme, while fans of the reverse trap state that those who dislike him are underage virgins. Jin is frequently associated with the word 'fag' (as he is posted occasionally with his partner Kame) and is seen in a macro with the words 'WATCH OUT STEVE IRWIN, THERES STINGRAYS IN THE OCEAN'.
- Alot of things.
- A simple reply to a question posed on the Cooking and Food board (/ck/) asking if there was any difference between Weetabix and Weetabix Gold. Quickly caught on, now used as an "I'm not sure" response if the question posed has possibly many answers. This is the first meme ever originating from /ck/.
- All of Cosine's vaginas look horribly infected
- Usually posted by Anonymous when saging a picture thread of the Japanese artist Cosine in /d/ or /h/. Cosine is known for playing fast and loose with the feminine anatomy.
- AMIRITE?
- Word that may look to the uninitiated like an obscure mineral, it is in fact short for "Am I right?". Usually added to the end of a post containing either a bad joke/play on words or a post with obvious sarcasm. Use it if you don't want your comment taken seriously.
- Angry Marines
- Originally created by a tripfag who played Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War as a custom army, consisting of a Chapter of Space Marines with red and yellow paintjob and who were perpeptually angry, taking a giant yellow >:C face as their banner. Adopted by /tg/ as one of several mascots (alongside Shadowsun and Commissar Kharn) and are always shown in a poorly drawn, cartoony style, but also shown kicking copius amounts of foul Xenos and Heretical ass. The Angry Marines are always angry. Always.
- Andy
- Andrew Stubbings, managing director of Noritake Itron UK. He had a webcamera in his office which /b/ used to watch until someone called him and asked to wave at the camera. After this it was moved to hallway. [1]
- Andy Sweetie
- Real name Andy Reyes, goes by "Cocotapioka." Obsessed with Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros., and likes to draw pictures of himself with her under the delusion that she is his girlfriend. By far the most famous of these is a comic that begins "HEY, ANDY, SWEETIE... ...HM? WHAT'S THIS YOU'RE DRAWING?" This was adapted into a flash movie (andypeach.swf) in which Peach emits an unearthly scream after the (terrible) punchline. For more lulz visit Andy's site or his DeviantART Page. Believe it or not, he thinks he's improved and is attempting commissions [2]
- Assdip-Chan
- Meme created when a regular in /b/ had written a detailed description of his homosexual sex at a party. The story goes that the flirty boy of Indian descent provoked unwanted sex by using the words "I dare you" and the act commenced using onion dip as lube. Most images made from the ass-dip story include a colored bronze Bridget, with a bindi on his head with a container of onion dip nearby.
- Avril Lavigne
- The Queen of Punk - Once a common face on /b/ and /s/, pictures of her are rarely posted nowadays. Like Rei, people seem to either love her or hate her. She smells like a combination of sweat and burning plastic according to several who have actually met her in person, this would be due to the fact that she is a dirty methhead who can't put together a full sentence. Now she is "back", time will only tell if Anonymous will want her back.
B
- B&
- Balki
- Balki Bartokomous, a character from the 80s sitcom "Perfect Strangers" became a meme after a user posted an image macro of him with the text, "Don't be ridikulus!" on /b/. The quote was his catchphrase from the show, and the Balkiroll has even turned out to be a welcomed alternative to the Duckroll.
- Bart, get out! I'm piss!
- Badly drawn pornography involving Bart and Lisa Simpson. ([2]) Bart walks in on Lisa while she is urinating, to which she shouts "Bart, get out! I'm piss!" It is a popular catch-phrase, and is normally used when drawn-sex.com comics are flooded in /b/. Original source is drawn-sex.com.
- Ben 10
- A Cartoon Network show about a boy who discovers an alien device that turns him into various creatures. The only reason /co/ watches this is because of Ben's cousin Gwen, whom bears a resemblance of Eureka from Eureka Seven. Also Incest.
Archived Bel-Air threads:
- BITCHES DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY DICK
- A picture of a person who doesn't know about the timer function of a camera taking a picture of himself wearing a shirt saying aforementioned phrase. Has been photoshopped to hell and back.
Archived Bitches don't know threads:
- Bix Nood
- Inspired by a cartoon drawn by a member of http://www.Stormfront.org, a White Nationalist website, also found on resist.com featuring a black man speaking gibberish, ("Mup da doo didda po mo gub bidda be dat tum muhfugen bix nood cof bin dub ho muhfugga") two words of which are "BIX NOOD". Now used as a placeholder for any racist comment about blacks.
- BLACK PEOPLE ARE VAMPIRES
- A flash based avatar/icon creation program made the rounds in 4chan, and one of the submissions from it was a black vampire with this text. In true /b/tard fashion it became a new meme.
- Blender Baby
- Yet another meme based off of a Waita Uziga manga. Much the same as "BABY FUCK", but instead the baby is put into a blender. Which is then turned on.
- Blockatiel
- Pornographic pictures with a cockatiel photoshopped into them. Some might say that it was based off of the less humorous "Cover-Cat". Blockatiel pictures are normally accompanied by phrases such as "Blockatiel saves your soul" or "Blockatiel haets nueds".
- Boatlights-chan
- Souseiseki from Rozen Maiden. Originally, this was a picture of a boat with two lights, the left green and right red, and a mouth and speech bubble containing the word "DESU" repeated photoshopped onto it. This image mistook Souseiseki for Suiseiseki, as both have heterochromic eyes, though this error is rarely pointed out. Since then, Souseiseki has become a meme along with Suiseiseki. See Desu and Rule #41.
- Bob Ross
- A well-known painter who once hosted a painting program on TV. A very noteworthy attribute of Bob Ross is that he can paint a proper landscape in less than 30 minutes and constantly describes the objects in his paintings as "pretty" and "happy". /b/tards generally love him despite the fact he's an opposite of a /b/tard.
- Boku
- Given the insane popularity of Suiseiseki (Boatlights) it's not surprising that other Rozen Maiden dolls have gained niches for themselves. Souseiseki, the tomboyish twin sister of Boatlights, has been dubbed "Boku" and gained a following for herself. The name originates from her tendency to use the word "Boku", which means "I" or "My" but is usually said by boys.
- Boromir
- Popular subject in altered pictures, the most popular meme being variations on "One does not simply walk into Mordor," with popular variations such as "one does not simply drive into Mordor" and "in Soviet Mordor, Boromir simply walks into you", occasionally accompanied by a speech bubble containing "wryyyy" Pictures often have to do with big gaping vaginas the size of hallways due to the wordfilter on "Mordor". The proper 'response' picture is an exasperated picture of Aragorn captioned "OK, how the fuck does one get into Mordor then?"
- Brian Wilson
- Debatable meme status; even more than Milhouse, Brian Wilson has become an anti-meme. Pictures were used innumerable times during the 2Mil Get flood of July 27, 2005, to early July 28. Also debatably not as sexy as Mandy Moore.
C
- Captain Jack
- A user that spammed /b/ furiously in 2005. Known for shopping the image of Captain Jack into various images on /b/. Appeared occasionally afterwards, but has disappeared.
- Centipedes, in my vagina?
- Originally derived from a pop-up of a woman looking shocked, which proclaimed ""Viruses? On my PC?" It's more likely than you think!" Was quickly edited to refer to a variety of different memes (eg. "Furries? On my 4chan?"), and is often answered to with "It's more likely than you think!"
- Challenger appears
- A term frequently used in /cgl/ as a response to a cosplay with a picture the poster considers superior. If the response is considered a failure, it will be countered with a "Challenger fails. Please insert coins to continue." Alternative is "Superior."
- Chii turns on, Chii turns off
- Refers to the main character of Chobits, an android who has an on-off switch located in her vagina. Commonly posted in /h/ in Chobits threads.
- Chris Benoit
- On June 25, 2007, Benoit was found dead in his home in Fayetteville, Georgia, along with his wife, Nancy Daus, and his 7-year old son, Daniel. WWE had a 3 hour tribute to him on RAW before realizing that he killed his wife, his son, then himself. When /b/ caught wind of it, many photoshops of him strangling kids or hanging himself popped up. He has since risen to meme status. Benoit is also considered by many to be An Hero.
- Christmas Chan
- Brought love and happiness to a group of depressed /b/tards in their time of need. God bless you Christmas Chan.
- Chuck Norris jokes
- While not originating from 4chan, the jokes were at one point popular. Now the jokes are considered juvenile and anybody making a Chuck Norris joke are immediately looked down upon.
- Cock goes where?
- Is usually photoshopped onto pictures of people with their mouths open.
- Covercat
- A blurred closeup of a Cat. Covercat is used to cover up the portions considered pornographic in porn images just to mess with people.
- Cyber Buddy
- A forced meme of a teenage boy reading a DnD book in a park wearing a day-glo orange T-shirt, gotten off of a website claiming to be a Cyber School. [3]
D
- Dash Billions
- A male camwhore troll, and brother of Soviet Russia. Dash Billions is almost universally hated by the /b/tards, and has since been run off to WTFux after many bans.
- delayclose.jpg
- Spin off of Cover-Tom. Features a closeup of former Congressman Tom DeLay with a silly grin. Highly popular meme.
- Deliberately broken links
- Stops the linked site from knowing they've been linked to by 4chan. Many websites check the referring page ("HTTP_REFERER") and may block it; this workaround forces the viewer to copy and paste it. The most common method of breaking links is to remove the leading 'h' from the URL and replacing it with 'x' (xttp://google.com, for example). Amusingly, this is a futile gesture on 4chan, as the software doesn't create hyperlinks for any URL; any message that does have live links in it was either posted or edited by a mod.
- Delicious Cake
- From a popular hentai image featuring a girl frantically devouring a piece of cake (photoshopped onto a penis), with the text replaced with "THIS IS DELICIOUS CAKE, I MUST EAT IT" (see Hawaiian Punch).
- Dennis Ferguson
- An Australian pedophile rumored to have molested some three thousand children and outspoken child pornography enthusiast. A frequent poster to /b/.
- Depeche Mode
- A popular 80's techno group who are not gay, they are a meme on 4chan. Also known as Depeche Meme or Sinep Doem. They have appeared throughout various threads ususally comming in at the least suspectful time.
- Dental Plan, AKA Lenny Leonard, and Lisa Needs Braces
- Older image macro/meme originally started in 2004, and was resurrected in 2006. Is normally replied to with "Lisa Needs Braces" image macro. Comes from "The Simpsons" episode, "Last Exit to Springfield" (9F15), in which Homer's brain continually repeats "Dental plan! Lisa needs braces!"
- Desu-Radio
- Another radio station, similar to /b/radio, but its focus is Jpop and other anime music. Known and loved for its "weeaboo weekends".
- DEXTER'S SECRET
A forced meme derived from an episode of Dexter's Laboratory, where Dexter builds a robotic parrot to copy what he says. It eventually goes haywire and starts copying other people's words, and threatens to unveil Dexter's secret lab.
Also seen as "SMOOTH MOVE DEXTER", "DEXTER'S A COOKIE", "DEXTER'S A STUPID GIRL", "THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES" and "WORMS AND PLASTIC MINNOWS". Often posted with a picture of the parrot.
- Diamond
- From a screenshot of a GameFAQs discussion concerning car durability, in which one not-too-bright member mentioned that if a diamond car was crashed into an iron wall at 400mph, the car would be unharmed because:
- "Diamond is one of the hardest metals (If not THE hardest metal) known the man."
- Disaster Kid
- Originally a random image of a shirtless kid holding a guitar with an expression of triumph on his face and leaned back in a posture similar to that of the "WRYYYYYY" meme. The picture was shopped into images of disasters, usually the Twin Towers and explosions. This earned him the title "Disaster Kid".
Disaster Kid in context.
- Doppelgänger
- A minor meme of /b/ that was first posted March 5, 2006 featuring a character who was drawn on May 14, 2005 but with the face erased. It came with the message "I've given you a blank check, go crazy. And within an hour over 100 different faces were given to Doppelgänger. As of now Doppelgänger is literally a window to the past in which you can look at mems of old. The name Doppelgänger most likely came from the Sandwhich guy post with the text "Nice try Doppelganger! Save it for Queen Doppelpoppolus!"
- Don't mess with football
- See "Jake J. Brahm."
- Donut Penis
- A image of a manga scan where a man takes a donut and hangs it off his erect penis, in the presence of a loli-looking female; the text was shopped to say "heh, welcome to 4chan /b/ / check this shizzle / ta-da! donut penis". Was posted shortly after the 900,000 mark, in the flurry of activity that usually accompanies such milestones, and the image files were subsequently switched around so that 900,000 pointed to Donut Penis instead of Raptor Jesus. (See Raptor Jesus)
- Double Princess
- A hentai doujin featuring Peach and Zelda, that had been highly sought after by /h/ and /e/ for some time. On 12/17/2007, it was posted in it's entirety to /h/ and uploaded to Rapidshare. Previously it had been somewhat common for trolls to claim to have it but refuse to post it. It turned out to be somewhat disappointing, as the cover art which had been in circulation on 4chan for years was actually the best part of the doujin.
- DO WANT
- Spinoff of "DO NOT WANT". Often used as a substitute for "MORE/MOAR".
- Dragonforce
- A continually debated band on the /mu/ board. Known for their very fast style of music ("power/action metal"), they are usually dismissed as crap by the musical elitists of /mu/, and are ridiculed for hiding the fact that they cannot actually play melodies with super-fast solos and riffs (by recording the guitars at slow speed and then speeding the music up digitally on a computer). Some hate them for the sole reason that they are now popular with emo children. Although they are the fastest metal in the world, they are being debated with Manowar as the hardest metal.
- DRACULA PENIS
- Seen in threads featuring art by the Japanese H-artist Yozora, all of whose girls are vampires, and most of whom sport an enormous penis. Also has drawn some guro of said vampire dickgirls being impaled with crosses or swords. The artist is frequently lambasted for the vast majority of the girls having the exact same facial expression (mouth wide open and displaying fangs, tongue sticking out, undersized and disproportional eyes staring into space or at the camera). Interestingly, since /d/eviants first complained about it, most of the work produced by the artist has the girls with different facial expressions. Whether this is coincidence or word somehow got to Yozora, who then took it as constructive criticism, has not been determined.
- DRR... DRR... DRR...
- Originated from a short story by famous horror manga artist Junji Ito called The Enigma of the Amigara Fault. The story is about two teenagers who visit the place where a huge fault in the ground has been discovered after an earthquake. The walls of the fault are full with human shaped holes which seem to attract some people in a strange way. One after another, the people climb into "their" holes when they can't resist the temptation any more. The holes are in fact tunnels, which are shaped after the exact silhouette's of certain individuals. The people trapped in them can only go forward without being able to turn back. As they proceed further into the tunnel, the walls close in and deform the people over a long period of time. In the final page of the short story, we see two scientists investigating the other side of the holes (which aren't human shaped at all anymore). They look into one hole and see a horrible deformed and crushed (and maybe dead) creature coming at them, along with the famous DRR DRR DRR noise.
- DSFARGEG
- Forced meme by the moderators. On April 10th numerous threads were stickied in which many people were banned for posting in, along with the original poster. One of these was the random selection of letters DSFARGEG, accompanied by an image of a monster riding a motorbike. During the next few days similar events took place, every time with the post DSFARGEG being one of the topics stickied. Another recurring theme was that one unfortunate poster would receive a ridiculous amount of short term bans and/or warnings. For this time, posting DSFARGEG nearly always led to a sticky and/or a ban. This has often resulted in the front page of /b/ being almost completely full of stickies. [4]
- In reality, the monsters depicted on the dsfargeg.jpg picture are the characters from the Japanese children's show Ponkikki. The episode pictured is a parody of another Japanese TV program, Kamen Rider, a sort of "Power Rangers on Bikes"-like show.
- Duffy
- The original meme of gif. Which always had gifs of accidents and other misfortunes that happen to people but super impose a floating Patrick Duffy head with glowing eyes that shoot laser beams, and balls of energy which makes it look like Duffy is the cause of the mayhem.
E
- Emo
- Short for "Emotional", a sub-genre of punk music created in the 1980s that died and was reborn somewhat disfiguredly in the 1990s and popularized by bands such as Weezer, Simple Plan and Dashboard Confessional. The lyrics to emo songs are often dark, confessional and self-loathing in nature, and lacking in specific details; as a result, it is primarily listened to by depressed, traumatized and/or emotionally unbalanced teenagers and while emo bands often have huge cult followings they are generally derided by serious music fans as simplistic and whiny. A broader definition detaches from the musical origin and describes people who are more introspective over their feelings.
- More recently (noted though not exclusive to 4chan) it has become an adjective used to describe those who are overly depressive; angst ridden; dress in black; listen to Linkin Park, etc. In other words: the new Goth. Wordfiltered to "Bosnian" on /b/. A more common use of the word is in the phrase "Cheer up, emo kid", in response to anyone who makes a post containing whining, overly emotional language, appeals for pity or sympathy, or complaints about the poster's own personal life. However, the term emo has become rather overused, particularly with regard to describing anime characters: sometimes a character who expresses any emotions at all will be called emo, if an /a/sshole doesn't like the character.
- Note: Linkin Park is not actually emo, it's nu-metal, but both can be pretty whiny when they want to.
- Emotes
- For the low low price of five dollars, a user can activate a word filter that will make a small .gif appear on /b/. It works by placing your choice of text inside two colons (:cockbean:
- eng101:) and then having that text filtered to the gif of the user's choosing. Popular examples include Professor Smiley, Ice Burn, and Pwned. Inspired by/borrowed from the SomethingAwful forums. The most well known of these was
- zdx4875: which activated Professor Smiley. It was made public on /b/ in the Winter of 2005, and for about 24 hours before the mods de-activated it, /b/ was filled with the Professor.
- Enjoy your AIDS
- Another way of saying "You're a stupid faggot", due to the fact that AIDS has been historically considered a "gay" disease. Also used when the poster is talking about something sexually unwise, like sleeping with a strange girl (you might catch something from him/her/it) or engaging in rape or pedophilia (you'd go to "pound me in the ass" prison and catch something there). The original macro (in which the text is seen overwriting a screenshot of Heero Yuy) was the creation of "Rabbi Bob Hitler", a /b/tard whose disgust at its popularity would later lead him to stop posting altogether.
- "Enough is enough, I've had it with these snakes"
- A quote from the Snakes on a Plane trailer, said by the star of the movie, Samuel L. Jackson. Experienced a short boom of popularity when the trailer was first released (in many cases, "Snakes" was replaced to give new meaning to the quote, eg. "Enough is enough, I've had it with these DESUS"), but has since only been quoted on occasion.
- Era-chan
- Era/Erin/Blackberry, as she now likes to be called, is a 19 (she claims 18) year old student at Rutgers who has posted pictures of herself on /b/. Era has her share of critics who allege she is nothing more than a cam-whore. In reality, these /b/tards are probably just upset she won't show them her tits. Similarly, Era has a fair number of /b/tard fans, these /b/tards are probably just being nice to her in the hopes that she'll show them her tits. Some doubt the authenticity of her pictures because, as well all know, there are no girls on the interbut. Era has also posted pictures of her sister, who many believe is considerably more attractive. Although she has stopped posting pictures of herself, Era continues to post on /b/ regularly. She claims not to take /b/ seriously. She has also been in art with pedobear as seen here.
- Evangelion
- A well known anime. Generates much drama, particularly on /a/, when mentioned between the fans and haters of the series (both groups being extremely vocal in their opinions). These drama sessions invariably degenerate into a massive hatefest. See also Gendo and Rei-chan.
F
- F40PH
- A locomotive that is considered "Awesome" and has been used to troll Fchan by posting random photos of them. Although it is thought to have started on 7chan, 1chan claims responsibility for this meme. Some 4chaners now state that Friday is now F40PH Friday replacing furry Friday. The F40PH has also been edited into other memes or just shopped in odd and funny ways.
- Fag
- Generic insult for anyone the poster doesn't like, especially if they're whining or trying to draw attention to themselves; similar in meaning to "asshole." Has little or nothing to do with the target's sexuality. Often used as a suffix to mock groups the poster thinks are troublemakers (tripfags, furfags, etc.) See "lurk more".
- Fail
- Used as a noun in the place of "failure".
- FAILGET
- The standard response to a failed #GET attempt (such as posting 1000000GET on post number 9999999 of /b/, or 2GET as the 3rd post of a thread). Also sometimes used to to claim that a GET sucked, as some felt to be the case with most of /b/'s GETs from 5MGET onward.
- Fap
- Noise made during male masturbation. Fap fap fap fap Originated in a translation of the manga "Heartbreak Angels"; it was then popularized in the web comic Sexy Losers by clay (contrary to popular belief, it did not originate there), and has since spread to the entire Internet.
- Fatty-tan
- A fat camwhore whom started posting nude pictures around June-August of 2005 on 4chan's /b/ board at the age of 17. Was part of the DONATE OR DIE fundraiser, though nobody thinks she helped any. Is one of the last camwhores from the beginning and still constantly posts. Although she doesn't post nudes anymore, she annoys /b/tards by randomly posting upclose pictures of her face and laughing at their attempts to hurt her feelings. She has seen all the insults in the book and throws hate at herself by continuing to go under the name Fatty-tan, though she has lost a considerable amount of weight since she first started posting pictures. Hates underaged camwhores.
- fgsfds
- You could either say "figgis-fiddis" or "F-G-S-F-D-S", but however you say it, it is the one word that makes no sense whatsoever at all. It all started when someone on 4chan replied to a post with "fgsfds". Oryan (a 4chan user) soon shopped the phrase into a pic of German talk-show presenter Harald Schmidt and now everyone on /b/ posts it. When somebody confuses you by saying something that makes no sense, simply say "fgsfds". Now commonly photoshopped onto pictures of anyone pointing their index finger in the air.
- Fixed
- A reply that includes a quote of the original post that's been "corrected" in a way that partially or completely changes its meaning, followed by "Fixed." on the next line. For example, a post saying "FF7 is the best game ever" might be replaced with:
- >"FF7 is the most overrated game ever"
- Fixed.
- Sometimes the Fixed is taken to an extreme level where the fixed statement has absolutely no similarity to the original statement. For example, a post saying "FF7 is the best game ever" might be replaced with:
- >"I love to suck meaty cocks in the morning"
- Fixed.
- FLIP-UP LIGHTS MAKE YOUR CAR GO FASTER
- A meme started in /o/ that is frequently used to tell off people obsessed with the Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (AE86, the car driven by the main character Takumi Fujiwara in the popular anime Initial D) who think it is the greatest car in the world. Sometimes changed to tell off ricers who post pictures of their car in /o/ in the forms of "LEDS MAKE YOUR CAR GO FASTER", etc.
- Force Push
- An animated gif that begins with a scene from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, where Obi-Wan Kenobi is fighting battledroids, then turns and performs a force push towards the screen. The picture then cuts to another scene where a person or object suddenly falls or is sent flying. A newer meme usually found on /gif/.
- Forced meme
- Francesca Dani
- Another drama-inducing cosplayer that's usually hated on /cgl/. She's highly criticized for buying costumes off of eBay and claims that she did them all by herself. Threads about her are suspiciously deleted before they are due.
- Freehaven
- The former moderator/administrator of furry imageboard Fchan, and one of /b/'s greatest foes due to his lack of caring about how much fun /b/ makes of him and his furry fetish. Is considered a major troll. Full name is Sage Freehaven.
- Fronzel
- A tripfag on /a/ well-known for his harsh criticism of countless anime and general hard-to-please attitude. Loved by some, hated by others. Also a self-admitted lolicon - he can be found on /l/ on occasion. Went missing around the beginning of 2006 for unknown reasons and reappeared two months later.
- Fuck Socks
- A picture from an H-game had a guy sticking his dick in a girl's thigh-high stocking while fingering her. Saying "I want to fuck her socks" is related to "I'd hit it". Not seen too often.
- Fucktard
- Short for "fucking retard".
- Fugly
- A forced meme, also known as Lazyeye to some, which started appearing on /b/, and 7chan. He is mostly noticed for his lasy eye, or his apperence.
- FUKKEN SAVED
- Used when a particularly awesome/funny/hot image is posted on /b/. Originates from the popular /b/ MSPaint comics. The one in question refers to the "20 minutes" facade on /b/, as well as WT Snack's relinquishing of his mod powers. WT Snacks is browsing /b/, and is at first shocked to see CP on the board. He then looks joyful as he saves the image and shouts in joy "FUKKEN SAVED". Now FUKKEN SAVED is used when ever Child Porn is posted.
- Futallaby
- 2chan image board software derivative used on 4chan. Maintained by terra.
G
- Gaijin 4koma
- Originally a 2chan meme, also known as Four Guys, Gaijin Yonkoma, Reaction Guys, etc. Gaijin being an impolite term for foreigner, translating literally to "outsider." Yonkoma (or 4koma) being a traditional 4 panel comic, usually reserved for gag strips (eg. Azumanga, Sexy Losers etc.)
- A Gaijin Yonkoma is usually interspersing 'good' and 'bad' images with two stock reactions. The reaction pictures used show four attendees at E³; a group of editors from IGN responding to Nintendo's E³ press conference. One picture has the four sitting in chairs, with little emotion, representing Nintendo's mediocre 2003 conference (in which the central point was the failed GBA-GC "connectivity" feature); the other shows a similar group cheering wildly, representing the 2004 conference (in which the Nintendo DS, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and many other major projects were revealed). Different IGN editors attempted to create a similar photograph for Nintendo's 2006 conference, but to nowhere near the same Internet popularity.
- The images have also been used as models for anime characters drawn in the same poses, most notably Akane, Mitsuki and Haruka from Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. An interesting thing to note is that some people have swapped seats and changed their clothing between photographs, whereas the comic form implies they're immediately sequential. [5] [6]
- George Zimmer
- A parody of the Men's Wearhouse commercials featuring George Zimmer, these posts are fully capitalized. They begin with, "HI, I'M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE MEN'S WEARHOUSE.", end with, "I GUARANTEE IT.", and in the middle contain a short story detailing Zimmer's various sexual escapades, laden with colorful sexual terminology such as "MY MASSIVE YOGURT HOSE". The meme has been occasionally adapted to other characters such as Jared Fogle from the infamous Subway ads. In late February of 2006 a female version using the Bleach character Rangiku (known primarily for her very large breasts) was tried, but failed to catch on.
- Gender Verification
- The Gender Verification meme was started the week of August 14th, 2006. The most common use of this meme is "WE DEMAND GENDER VERIFICATION," but the creators have modified it to "WE DEMAND A BARREL ROLL AND GENDER VERIFICATION." It has also been seen as "PROOF OF GENDER REQUIRED." It is meant as a replacement/supplement to the "TITS OR GTFO" meme. It is normally used regarding Stickam raids, but can be used anytime a picture of a girl is posted. It first began appearing from other members on /b/ the week of August 20th, 2006, and is slowly gaining popularity. It was started by the creator of the http://www.anonib.com/_stickam/ boards and his friend.
- Gendo Ikari
- Gendo is the father of Shinji in the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, which receives both praise and criticism on /b/. As the head of NERV he is normally found with a uncaring expression on his face, amplified with his reflective glasses and steepled hands over his mouth (a pose originally created so that the animators wouldn't have to waste time and money drawing his mouth moving when he talked but that became his signature pose). During the first forced-anon period someone posted Gendo arms and glasses (as well as eyebrows) on a manga scan. Shortly following a set of arms and glasses precut for shopping was posted. After that a rush of 300+ Gendo shops appeared on /b/. Recently on /b/, Gendo has had the nickname 'Evil Ambassador' placed unto him, as this spawned from an Anonymous poster asking for the arm and glasses from the Gendo meme, but not knowing what the meme was called and so he named it "Evil Ambassador", which /b/ found amusing and started to know Gendo as Evil Ambassador.
- ggmister
- "Leader" of the Habbo invasions during the months of February, March and June 2006. Last seen training nigras and coordinating experienced pool /b/lockers for the planned 9/11 raid, however after the hacking of poolsclosed.com his whereabouts are unknown. Known for his temporary lack of an afro, as the mods shaved it during 7/12/06 (Never Forget).
- Ghosts
- /b/tards hold some interest in paranormal phenomena. So-called "ghost pictures", which claim to point out spirits in photographs, are not taken too seriously, though. Images with red arrows pointing where the supposed "ghost" is are often ridiculed.
- GNAA
- Gay Nigger Association of America. An infamous Internet troll group that has targeted 4chan on occasion. They seem to be connected with WTFux.org on many levels. Famously "got" All8GET, and once almost shut down 4chan through furious and unrepentant spamming. Despite this history, some /b/tards consider them allies for raids.
- Good Naruto, you look kind of cool
- Picture of Sakura commenting Naruto from the anime of the same name, with his eyes facing opposite directions. Showed up in /a/ on 2005-01-11 with the aforementioned line fansubbed, absorbed into the fold. Recently changed by /b/tards to reflect the licensing status of the series. The original fansub by ANBU-AonE contained this exact line and it is a correct translation. The scene is from the Chuunin exam when the team is battling Orochimaru in the forest, whose tongue also is featured in an additional edit of the image by the same maker as the original edit.
- Green Lantern
- Strange and humorous drawn image of Green Lantern's face -- Hal Jordan, specifically. Often posted at random, or used to express shock or surprise at other posts; due to the expression of the character's face. Was posted in great numbers in early 2006; a notable example being the "Night of 100 Lanterns," in which the same image of Green Lantern was posted one-hundred or more times in a single thread, and then spammed copiously across the entirety of /b/. Source of original image is the cover of Green Lantern #35 (March 1965), it was first posted in /b/ in early 2006.
- Grieving Jew
- A picture of a Jew grieving. Forced meme in October 2006, generally by spamming one long thread with hundreds of copies of the image.
- GTA[4chan]
- A group of 4channers that played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas online together with the tag [4chan] in front of their names. While this wasn't a clan it was more like a smaller community where 4channers gathered and played and had fun together. The community died after their allies [PHW] betrayed them and banned them from their shared server causing GTA[4chan]'s leader Rho to disappear shortly thereafter. If you ever ran into another 4channer in the online gaming world you had to spell out the phrase "JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR!" followed by both 4channers running towards the nearest car to drive off.
H
- HAET
- Oft used intentional misspelling of "hate". A /b/tard will never spell "hate" properly, instead preferring this intentional misspelling. Often seen in the phrase (Blank) HAET (Blank), mostly seen as, but not restricted to, "LOLI HAET PIZZA", but seen in variants all over the board. Also see as LOEV.
- Harbl
- A codeword used when /z/ was attempting to overthrow /b/; Is often used as a synonym of 'penis'. See also Soviet Russia, /z/.
- Hawaiian Punch
- On the Something Awful forums, there was a thread called "Make Porn Worksafe", and it consisted of people photoshopping, you guessed it, porn so as to make it "safe for work." Penetrations were covered, the nude were clothed, and penises were replaced with numerous things, the most popular being cans of Hawaiian Punch.
- HAY GUYS WHAT'S GOIN ON IN THIS THREAD?
- A common post that appears randomly in threads most of the time, but it's used humorously in threads which contain a flood of images, a serious debate, or any thread which generates an obvious amount of attention.
- HE POSTED CP GET HIM
- Image posted almost religiously during suspected CP threads, which depicts two police officers on motorcycles launching themselves over a hill.
- HEAD ON - APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD
- The slogan of an anti-headache medicine called Head On, which, unsurprisingly, is applied to the forehead to take effect. Spammed furiously on /b/ on 17th July 2006, probably by one or two people. A good example of an unsuccessful forced meme.
- Healthy Girl
- Any athletic or muscular girl, live-action or drawn. More generally, any girl who is well-built and does not appear either waifish or anorexic nor morbidly obese. Like most kinks, it is loved and hated in equal amounts on /e/, /h/, /s/, and /d/. The most well-known healthy girl (and the one largely responsible for the meme) is Tamaki Kousaka aka Tama-nee from To Heart 2, whose name can also be read in Japanese as "healthy girl" (ironically, during the course of the game she gets sick and the player character has to take care of her).
- Hitler
- /b/ seems to have a very special relationship with Hitler. Most /b/tards tend to see Hitler either as "jolly, warm-hearted German fuhrer", "Emo-Hitler" or "crusher of all Jew scum". The relation to Hitler becomes even more of a parody if you see /b/s huge love for "communism hacks" (red board style, Russian music).
- Hoodpins
- meme that started in /o/. A frequent user, GSX, had his mother purchase hoodpins for his car (Mitsubishi Ecplise GSX). Versions of this are "hoodpinz, hoodpinz, lol" or "hoodpins give you 50 horsepower each". Once /o/'s favorite meme, it is rarely reposted anymore.
- hope u got 10bux
- From the Something Awful forums, refers to the cost of re-registering a banned account. Used to mean "you're about to get banned", usually ironically. See "lurk more".
- Hopkin Green Frog
- A 16 year old boy with Autism passed out fliers notifying people that he lost his stuffed frog. This flier ended up on the Internet, and was duly shopped into parodies involving nearly anything you can think of, like "The Sims", Michael Jackson, Peanuts, and such.
- Horror-chan
- A collection of close-ups of the skin of an unknown sickly person, characterized by wan skin covered with an abundance of gaping sores.
- House
- A relatively new medical drama on FOX. The show stars Greg House, a board-certified diagnostician with a double speciality in infectious disease and nephrology. The show is most known for being 92% awesome and the picture of Dr. House giving a creepy stare. Also, it isn't lupus. [7] [8] [9]
- how do I ge
- Random nonsense posted in any thread as spam similar to desu. First appeared on Friday, 28 of June. Origin is a post made in /b/ with the final question cut short. Spammed for over an hour in every thread by many Anonymous until the rest of /b/ started asking if it was now a meme. Though it is now rare it is still often used for trolling along with the occasional image macros and mixed meme posts.
- How does a polar bear know what apples is?
- Fairly successful forced meme on /b/ posted in early 2007 accompanied by the tagline "I'm going to post this picture every day until you like it." Consisted of a picture of a polar bear gnawing at a block of ice that had several apples frozen in it (a so-called 'enrichment' toy to give an animal something to do for a while). One of the first replies was "How does a polar bear know what apples is?" since polar bears are Arctic creatures whose main diet consists of fish and not fruit. Later expanded to include a picture of the polar bear staring down a dog, shopped to include the words "DOG HELP ME GET APPLES". Also seen as "How does polar bear know what thermodynamics is?"
- How can you bitch about something you can't see?
- We found a way.
I
- i am a nigra
- A random comment with an attached webcam photo of a young black man smiling happily, which was mass-posted in late 2005 and eventually became a popular meme. The specific use of the word "nigra" is notable, as the word itself seemed to replace "nigger" and the much more common and popular "bix nood" as the 4chan userbase's chosen term for black people. It was also the inspiration for the name Habbo Hotel raiders call themselves by.
- I came
- See "Fap" and "I'd hit it". In Japanese "キタ" (although technically the correct translation would be "来て"), usually accompanied by a Shift_JIS character.
- I'd hit it.
- Describes something as "fuckable". Occasionally substituted with "I'd tap it". Incorrectly used in a famous McDonald's advertising campaign in the US.
- I'M THE NEW COMMISSAR
- Local meme started on /tg/. Someone posted a series of short narratives involving a Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Space Marine by the charming name of Kharn the Betrayer, with each story involving Kharn doing something more and more awesome, and generally involving him killing his own troops in the process. These included stabbing a nuclear warhead into a fellow Space Marine's rotting stomach and throwing him at an enemy city, and planting a meltabomb on a hijacked dropship, and informing the unfortunate guys flying the dropship via a haiku made from the corpses of those he killed hours earlier. The final story involved Kharn walking up to an Imperial Guard Commissar, tearing him in half, and then putting on his nifty little Commissar cap, before bellowing "I'M THE NEW COMMISSAR!" From that point on, nearly every 40k character on /tg/ has had a Commissar cap shopped onto them, with that line being repeated.
- I DEMAND A SMALLER HAT
- An unpopular meme featuring the image of a NYC fireman with a seemingly oversized hat, accompanied by the caption "I DEMAND A SMALLER HAT," first posted in late December 2005. At first this attempt at a forced meme was ridiculed, but soon additional images of people with big hats were being posted. Variations of the caption included "MY HAT IS TOO SMALL" and "I DEMAND A SHORTER HAT," the latter accompanying a picture of Napoleon Bonaparte. The ephemeral craze was over in less than a day's time, but the original image is still occasionally posted.
- I like where this thread is going.
- Usually a sarcastic comment directed at threads that are about to degenerate into flamewars, or which already have. A related image macro shows a cargo ship sailing toward a massive storm. Occasionally used in a positive sense, particularly when hot porn is posted or camwhores have shared their TITS rather than GTFOing.
- I LOL'd
- Minor meme based on the common Internet acronym LOL (laugh out loud). Related to an image macro of He-Man villain Skeletor, with his head thrown back in laughter. Spread to the O RLY owl and Agent Smith among others. Some thought it hit a new low with a shop of coffins from Iraq with "I LOL'D" copiped on it.
- IN AMERICA!
- Phrase accompanying any image having to do with America, often attached at the end of a sarcastic quip about said nation.
- I WAS BORN INTO A WORLD YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND
- A quote from the movie Ultraviolet which had become popular on /b/.
- I WISH TO CONVERSE WITH YOUR LEADER
- After a 4channer got banned from a GTA:San Andreas online server for the use of the tag [4chan] in front of his nick with the (ignorant and wrongly accused) reason "All 4channers are cheaters and you've stolen your clan name from a Ventrilo clan! I wish to converse with your leader". The rest of 4chans GTA community thought this was funny and a smaller meme was born. When the server admin refused to lift the ban and said that should he ever see any 4channers on his server again, he wouldn't hesitate to ban them too, along with several insults towards 4chan. When the news hit /b/ an invasion was imminent on the GTA:SA server and its forum. This caused them both to be closed down for a small time.
- IF THIS IS TRUE THEN HERE IS WHAT YOU DO
- One day in the spring of 2005, someone came to /b/ looking for help with their bloody nose. One of the first replies had "IF THIS IS TRUE THEN HERE IS WHAT YOU DO", in all caps, as the subject; the reply was sincere advice, a rarity on /b/. The rest of /b/ thought this was hilarious, and a flood of shopped pictures and reposts featuring the phrase ensued. It was used as a stock response through out the summer and into the fall, and still shows up from time to time.
- ILLEGAL IN CANADA
- Originated October 2005, when a Canadian sex-offender was convicted of owning Lolikon hentai, charged with Child Pornography. Traditionally, there had been a barrier between drawn media depicting children and real photographic or video child pornography. Virtual images were considered to not be child pornography and thus not illegal material. ILLEGAL IN CANADA became a catch-phrase to describe loli art, poking fun at the Canadian ruling, which many legal experts described as an extreme case with extenuating circumstances. This may be true, especially since the man convicted had been charged multiple times with various forms of sexual misconduct with minors. Also seen as "BANNED/B& IN CANADA" early in its life, especially if someone posted real CP or a lolikon pic graphic enough to look traced.
- I'm a ______, btw
- /tv/ Meme. _____ can be anything from Boy or Girl to Charlee Sheen. Also can be "I'm from ____, btw". Variations may include "And" in front of it.
- I'm in ur base killin ur d00ds
- Originated on battle.net. In the Games forum, someone posted a thread about a Starcraft game in which he had totally owned some poor b.net sod. There was a screenshot of the tard saying "where are you?" and the b.net guy replying "im in ur base, killin ur doodz". The gist of the thread is that the guy who said it ended up losing or something, so it was poetic justice, or whatnot.
- Interbutt, Intraweb, Internets, etc
- Sarcastic terms for the Internet. Created in reference to various n00bish mistakes.
- I really do hope you're trolling and not actually that fucking retarded.
- Minor (anti)meme on /dis/ started by the same fuck who flooded /b/ with Kurt Cobain images. Usually replied to with "I really do hope you're retarded and not fucking a troll." Used in /dis/ posts when a poster thinks the thread-starter is an unintentional troll.
- Is this loli?
- A meme that presumably originated from people posting pictures of hot chicks who might be a bit on the lower end of legal. This was of course, seized and made fun of mercilessly.
- IT'S AWWWWWWWWRIGHT
- Quote from a manga by notorious guro (gore) artist Waita Uziga. The page in question apparently originates from the manga "Mai-chan's Daily Life", a collection of stories about a girl who can regenerate limbs and cannot die (quite handy for the mutilation she endures in the manga). Mai-chan has had her baby ripped from her womb by a large man, who exclaims "I'M HUGE, I'M HUGE", and proceeds to fuck the baby, screaming "BABY FUCK, BABY FUCK !!!!!" and "IT'SSS AWWRIGHTTT!!!~~~~~~♪"
- Fun fact - the man who fucks the baby is actually, in the manga, The President of the United States.
- It's 25 posts away.
- The famous post that was 6.2M GET. It was in answer to a question posed by another user as to when 6.2M GET was. Many users said that this was a TIME PARADOX and labelled it a meme.
- ITT
- Stands for "In This Thread", where the original poster makes a thread with a picture theme. While frequently used for requests outside of /r/, it is also often used legitimately, with the thread starter posting mulitple pics of the stated theme.
J
- Jack Sparrow
- One day, someone posted a picture in /b/ of a cartoon Jack Sparrow saying, "ALL RIGHT, FUCK THIS SHIT MATEYS, I'M OUTTA HERE". The next two posts beneath it showed the picture of Jack Sparrow sliding out of the image box, leaving a blank white image. Three more posts followed with the blank white box. Then a picture of Jack Sparrow facing the other way was posted next with, "WHOOPS, FORGOT MY HAT". This was widely accepted as one of the funniest posts on 4chan in a long time, and "WHOOPS, FORGOT MY HAT" has been repeated numerous times, though some /b/tards see these repeats as derivative and worn-out. Jack has been seen dueling with Barbossa, running from the Kraken, and marrying a Mudkip. During this time now, it is considered to be a forced meme
- Jack Spicer
- A particularly pathetic attempt at creating a new meme involving Jack Spicer of Xiaolin Showdown.
- Jake J. Brahm
- The /b/tard alledgedly behind the football stadium dirty bomb threat copypasta. After owning up to the copypasta when the media latched onto it he recieved a visit from the 4chan partyvan (q.v.), proving that you "Don't mess with football" (a quote from the press conference about Brahm, and later added to the official /b/ rules).
- Janitors
- In December 2005, moot decided to add "janitors" to /a/, /k/ and /v/ to help stem the flow of crappy posts without having to bring in more mods. Janitors can delete posts for violating the rules, but unlike mods they can't ban people. Due to the obvious impossibility of nominating Anonymous, only Tripcode users could be nominated to be janitors. Obviously, not found on /b/. Janitors have since been expanded to most if not all boards, and are no longer nominated by 4chan users (meaning that Anonymous now is eligible).
- JAPAN IS SUPERIOR
- Common catch-phrase in discussions of anime in which a Japanese character is for no logical reason stronger, faster, or smarter than other, non-Japanese characters, or in which Japan or a fictional nation clearly derived from it is inexplicably the dominant power in the world. Basically, every anime ever made.
- JB
- Jailbait.
- Jelly Rolls
- Common response to a thread featuring Yomi from the anime Azumanga Daioh. Yomi, slightly pudgy, is highly self conscious about her weight and is teased by her friend Tomo for being fat despite her having a normal enough body shape; the full version of the meme is "JELLY ROLLS (line break) JELLY ROLLS (line break) NOBODY LOVES YOU". Since Yomi is a fan favorite, especially in /e/, this is occasionally adapted by her fans from "NOBODY LOVES YOU" to "EVERYBODY LOVES YOU". See also: Azumanga Daioh.
- Jesus
- /b/ appears to have an obsession of taking images of Jesus and Photoshopping speech bubbles onto them. It is only funny when Jesus ends his sentence with "lol". An example of one such image is a picture of Jesus knocking on a door and the guy behind the door going "who is it?" and Jesus going "It's Jesus, lol". There is also an image of Jesus decked out in bling. See also Raptor Jesus.
K
- Kansai-ben
- A Japanese dialect spoken in Kansai prefecture, a south central area of Japan which includes major cities such as Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. The dialect is impossible to describe without hearing it, but is basically a rougher, more relaxed and informal manner of speaking than textbook Japanese. The two variants of the dialect are identified as "Kyoto-ben" and "Osaka-ben". In anime, especially those produced in Tokyo, Kyoto-ben is generally associated with refined, high-class and elegant characters, while Osaka-ben is associated with stupid, rude, wise-ass or lazy characters, reflecting the two cities' status as the ancient seat of Japanese culture and the country's collective armpit, respectively. Anime examples of the Kyoto accent include Shizuru Fujino from My HiME, Konoka Konoe from Negima and Motoko Aoyama from Love Hina, while examples of the Osaka dialect include Sorata Arisugawa from X/1999, Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno from Love Hina and of course Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga from Azumanga Daioh. Real-life Kansai-ben speakers include musicians Miyavi and Chachamaru.
- While the Kansai dialect can be considered roughly analogous to the American Texan accent, the general consensus of anime fans is that attempting to convey this cultural distinction by dubbing Kansai characters into English with southern U.S. accents sounds incredibly phony and is a very, very stupid idea. Despite this, they keep doing it. Ironically, the grating brooklynese voice of Naru Osaka from Sailormoon (and Osaka herself in ADV's manga translation of Azumanga Daioh) is more accurate.
- Katamari-chan
- An overweight Asian-Canadian girl who looks very much like a fat Emo boy. The pictures of her usually seen are one of her eating a piece of pocky, or just random face shots. Her posts usually begin with "Dear /b/." And she tells about her sex life, she also asks others to poke fun at her by saying "Feel free to stab me with a harpoon." None of the posts are usually made by the girl in the picture, just an imposter pretending to be her; Confirmed to be her two-faced girlfriend or someone acting like HER as well. More than likely a short-lived meme/failed meme attempt.
- Kebinu
- Multi-board tripfag who, while contributing occasional fanboyish bursts of "original content" that ran the gamut from popular to mind-numbingly stupid and filled with fail, wore out his welcome by insisting on participating in every Kannazuki no Miko flame war thread on /u/ and /a/ and by biting on every attempt to troll him hook, line and sinker. The proper response to his posts is considered to be to either sage him or post a picture of Chikane Himemiya to piss him off. Is now usually saged on sight by Anonymous, except when he spams another 50-picture Marimite thread, at which point "sage for Kebinu" sometimes turns into "age for Kebinu". Among his other dubious 'accomplishments': The "Enemies of All Mankind" list of harem anime leads, some three dozen Flash loops (including the popular "rumpshaker.swf", "kaedepsycho.swf", "suigintoucooks.swf" and the 11/3/05 tribute), a parody of Monty Python and the Holy Grail using Velox's Fate/Stay Night sprites, and writing sexually explicit fantasies about anime girls, most notoriously his threesome fantasy about Nanoha and Fate. He is known to hate Chikane, the Nadesico movie, and Abicion.
- Kebinu attempted the 100000GET on /u/ in October 2006 with an edited Chikane sprite, but missed. Since the get itself was off-topic, unremarkable and deleted, in a rare moment of sportsmanship, /u/ declared the "ChikaneGET" the honorary GET.
- The King
- meme involving Burger King's mascot. Usually posted with "Where is your God now?" or "YOU GONNA GET RAPED", since the King looks like he's insane and may well try to have it HIS way.
- ksqueeks
- A female 4channer who originally gained notoriety posting pictures of herself in /s/ with "donate 2 4chan" written across her chest in an aid to "DONATE OR DIE WEEK 2005". As with other females doing the same, her thread got stickied and she since became a much loved/hated figure among the citizens of /s/ as she continues to provide them with new pictures. On the 15th, the sticky was deleted and a ban on all camwhores in /s/, included ksqueeks, was issued. Although later rescinded, this led to the establishment of ksqueeks' old website making her the only 4chan camwhore with a real website. Lives with her cats Marvin, Beecher, David and Gary in her flat full of anime/video game stuff.
- Kill it with fire
- An expression of outrage, especially appropriate where furry porn or hideously ugly people are involved.
- KOREA EAT CAT
- Old meme originally involving the eating of felines by our Korean friends. Later, overused and worn out, it transformed into any three word phrase with "eat" in it, such as "BANDWIDTH EAT 4CHAN". It is worth noting that Koreans actually do eat dog regularly, cat is not as popular (although it tastes similar to pork). Also the name of a band on soundclick.com.
L
- Lamprey mouth
- Lampreys are parasitic fish which, when viewed close-up, show a sucker-shaped mouth filled with dozens of razor-sharp teeth. Lamprey mouths were Photoshopped onto fingers, and were displayed together with Lotus Boobs (below) as part of a double-pack of images intended to make the viewer squirm. Still one of the creepiest images ever posted on /b/.
- LAUNCH THE DAVINCI VIRUS
- One of the epic meme's initiated around the time the movie hackers was released. Whenever any thread involving police or the FBI was posted, it was suggested that the poster launch the davinci virus to thwart the authorities. Usually posted with the vitruvian man [10]
![[10]](http://www.carbuyersnotebook.com/archives/Da-Vinci-Man.jpg){kind=link}
- LawForKids/LawlForKids
- A website for the state of Arizona which has a comic section which include one-liners such as "Tommy, you're permanently expelled!" and "Even the passenger gets in trouble". There are frequent threads on /b/ for edits of these comics which interfere with the natural order and makes the comics even funnier.
- Legendary
- Shitty, as a result of a now-inactive wordfilter in /b/ that replaced "legendary" with "shitty". As a result, threads filled with faggotry and fail tend to be called a "legendary thread". The only one with the power to officially declare a thread legendary is moot, which he did once when someone posted a story about how they spoiled a Harry Potter book to two teenagers and they burst into tears. Everything else is merely "epic".
- See also: QUALITY.
- Let's Order Linguini
- A small meme originating from an Australian episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" where one of the first questions was to define the commonly used internet acronym "LOL". Let's Order Linguini was the most ridiculous and therefore memorable of the false options. Furthermore, it should be noted that the contestant in question had to use his 'ask the audience' lifeline to answer the question - and while over 60% of the audience steered him true, there was in fact a portion that thought Linguini was the way to go. Silly Australians.
- Lion (AKA RAWR I'M A LION!)
- A white circle with a right side up >:3 in it and a speech bubble with the caption "RAWR I'M A LION!." Lion showed up in early 2006 with the lion image and it went with the saying "JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR!" and the very first thread was very popular among /b/ with many shops of the lion face on 4chan memes, lion pictures, and other stuff. Lion was posted many more times in the following months and eventually lion and JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR! became a part of /b/ and you'll never look at a lion or >:3 the same way ever again.
- The meme has had slight crossover to /a/ referencing Fate Stay Night and pictures of Saber with lions.
- Listen to this man
- Usually said while quoting a post that offers horrible advice, i.e.:
- "Go into C: and delete your system32 folder."
- "^Listen to this man."
- lolicatgirls.swf
- /f/ meme. The file does not actually contain loli cat girls at all, but nonetheless is posted under the [H] tag. The music used in the file is "I Wish (Skazi Remix)" by Infected Mushroom/Skazi.
- LOLI HAET PIZZA
- Is usually said to be based on a typo of "LOL I hate pizza", though it probably spawned from an earlier image macro that said "Loli hate (or possibly haet) PENIS";. Was immediately shopped into an image macro and has persisted as a meme. Variations now abound, including LOEV (love) replacing HAET when necessary. Also spawned "LOLI LOEV PEDO", which seems to be more prevalent.
- lol internet
- The 100,000th post of /b/. Completely off topic and in some useless thread, it foiled the plans of bt to gain the 100,000th post. He attempted with an image of "100,000" but received post number 99,999. After calling himself a failure at the internet, he said he was going to commit suicide. "LOL Internet" (capitalization optional) however, has become a popular meme.[11]
![[11]](http://img234.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000005hl.jpg){kind=link}
- lol wut?
- An expression commonly used on /b/ to signify either confusion as to the meaning of a thread or alternatively as a means to mark the thread as nonsense.
- Lotus seed
- A genre of shock images wherein a picture of a human or part of the human anatomy is photoshopped to appear riddled with pits or holes containing seeds of the lotus flower. The original and most famous is "Lotus Tit"/"Lotus Boob".
M
- Man the harpoons!
- Reply towards pictures of fat people. Most popular at /cgl/.
- Marcus the Hedgehog
- A 20 year old Babyfur whose badly drawn, morally-uplifting comic strips caused quite a stir on /b/. Each comic centers around his alter-ego, Marcus the Hedgehog, who appears to be a green-and-brown Sonic the Hedgehog dressed in Ash Ketchum's clothing. /b/ ran a legendary raid on his Deviantart on October 15, 2006, utterly destroying him and causing him to temporarily leave the internet. The raid consisted of 82 original works of art depicting Marcus in various violent and sexual situations. These were created in MSPaint, and uploaded to a new Deviantart account under the name "Marcusbarcus." This page got over 18,000 hits in it's single day of existence, and was eventually banned. Marcus is a relatively new meme, but is already quite well known in /b/ and /v/, where the comics were originally posted.
- Matthew Graves
- An insane revolutionary cloned many times beyond reason. He was born out of a possible trolling of a post from /f/ featuring a picture of Tifa with huge stars over her tits. What started as an idiotic request for the uncensoring of the flash grew into an overnight revolution, with many Anonymouses converting to the Matthew Graves cult. During late hours he and his clones would rant about the evils of censorship, the virtues of Tifa, or the status of his rocket ship that he is building with his brother (Frances Graves). This caused widespread anarchy across /b/, forcing the censor technicians to ban him and his followers.
- Meatspin.com
- All aspiring members of 4chan, especially /b/, are required to sit through at least 35 seconds of meatspin.com. Or, if said aspirant prefers something else, he can either Google image search for "goatse" or go to lemonparty.org.
- Medieval Macros
- Olde English image macros of existing memes created using the Historical Tale Construction Kit. New medieval macros show up from time to time as new memes and in-jokes appear, though nothing has yet matched the original flood when /b/ first discovered them.
- MEGATRON
- From the Transformers movie. Did for Optimus Prime what "KHAAAAAANNNN!!!" did for James T. Kirk, internet-notoriety-wise. A Flash loop featuring the "YOU MAKE KITTY SCARED" cat screaming "MMMEEEEGGGAAATRRROOONNNNNUUUHHH" became quite popular on /f/, resulting in a further parody where the line is edited into the opening sequence for the TV show Law and Order. A minor /f/ meme.
- meme Money
- A "real life" meme in which members of 4chan's /b/ write common mems or "sup /b/" on their local currency before putting it back into circulation. Most members of 4chan agree that it does not matter what country the meme money is from. Recent controversy arose due to some members writing the actual url for /b/. Some members of /b/ feel that this contribution to meme money will attract unwanted members and/or get 4chan unwanted attention by some goverments.
- Michael J. Fox _________. Because of Parkinsons.
- A recent addition to the massive meme flood of /b/, based on the degenerative disease held by the once and perhaps still popular TV and movie star.
- Midnight Snacks
- An Internet radio show produced by W.T. Snacks, which airs on Tuesday nights starting at midnight US Eastern time. Snacks plays music from his collection of odd digital music and Japanese imports, while people on /b/ discuss the show on the announcement thread (which was typically stickied when Snacks was a mod, and often isn't now).
- Milhouse
- A failed attempt at creating a new meme involving Milhouse of the Simpsons. Included a photoshop of the 'I laugh at your dick' Sakura as Milhouse.
- Milhouse is not a meme.
- True, Milhouse is not a meme. But "Milhouse is not a meme" IS a meme. If you fully understand this you have reached /b/ enlightenment.
- Mirror Image
- "Mirror image" pictures created by taking half of an image and mirroring it to the other side (even using MS Paint, it only takes a few seconds). Usually done with faces, producing results that are symmetrical but often quite freakish. The meme was naturally taken further by including mirrorring multiple times in the smae image, which usually fucks it up so severely that it's impossible to recognize the source image. Also known as UNITTINU
- Misa Campo
- New meme in /s/, which arose from an annoying repost seemingly by the same troll looking for a source. Most requests for a source now are typically attributed to her.
- Misty
- A fairly recently, poorly forced Meme. Someone posts around five pictures of the character Misty of the short-lived Bomberman anime asking if fapping to Misty makes him a furry. This is usually followed by familiar memes such as Cover-Tom. This is probably because they're basically the same premise.
- MOAR
- A request for more of whatever has been posted. The typo seems to be mandatory. Occasionally the opposite "LESS" is seen, equivalent to "DO NOT WANT".
- Mods
- They are GOD. Bow down and worship moot is the head mod, W.T. Snacks was his bitch until recently, when Snacks was de-modded for reasons which remain unclear. There is also 5, who uses a "rocker" title in blue after his name but claims not to be a mod, and probably others. They rarely post under their true names, preferring to go under Anonymous##Mod, which is in purple. Mods can also bypass wordfilters and do a variety of things with the futaba script, such as post .swf files to embed music.
- Monar
- A catlike ShiftJIS art creature invented on 2ch. Name is derived from his standard comment, "Omae monaa" (You too!). Has many other ShiftJIS friends such as "Shii" and "Giko Cat". Monar and his catchphrase are used on 2ch in much the same way that "NO U" is used on 4chan.
- -MonyToen
- A meme in which "MonyToen" is claiming to have graduated from high school and posting pictures of himself in his ceremony; as well as posting "YAAAYY I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL" and "FCUK YOU". The Picture includes a long haired white teen in a green gown in full stride carrying a diploma as if he was balancing with it. Many MSPaint reproductions of the MonyToen were created which played off of the "I has a shovel" meme and the "I forgot my hat" meme.
- Monsquaz
- Flash animation often reposted in /f/ of a bald naked man rendered in Poser, rising to a backgrond of green arrows, dancing at a sunset, lowering with some pink arrows, and then moving his creepy face towards the camera. Monsquaz has appeared in a variety of other flashes and images. While he is primarily a /f/ meme, he is occasionally reposted in /b/.
- Motivational Posters
- Posters that contain an image, a title and "inspirational" text underneath. One of the most common memes on 4chan due to its almost infinite range of applications, however the minimal effort required to create an image of this sort means that comparatively few are of any notable quality. Most utilize established memes in the same manner as the "Medieval Macros", except with less creativity since a good Medieval Macro requires reworking the meme in Olde English style.
- MOXIE
- A popular soft drink, back in the day. Some time ago, a /b/tard found an old Moxie ad and used it to crapflood, whereupon another began shopping the picture for various purposes. Moxie appears perennially on /b/. Moxie is not a meme.
- MR CAPSLOCK
- An /ic/ meme centering around an anonyfag that types in capslock and gives out the harshest criticism (usually ends up into personal insults). Was given the nickname MR CAPSLOCK. Citizens of /ic/ are somewhat doubtful if MR CAPSLOCK is even the same person in each of his posts.
- MUDA MUDA MUDA
- Dio Brando's other battle cry from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, japanese word which translates to "USELESS". Usually posted in response to jojo related threads or to pictures depicting multiple punchings.
- Muddy dicks
- Derived from a post on a Naruto forum after a few /b/tards decided to join up. Some members opted to ignore the havoc caused, whereupon another user cried "BUT THERE POSTING MUDDY DICKS". It wasn't mud.
- MUST PUT PENIS IN FATE-CHAN
- Frequently accompanies posting of the character Fate Testarossa, one of the stars of the magical girl anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and its sequel, Nanoha A's. Ironically, the fact that Fate is less than ambiguously lesbian for Nanoha herself both endears her to her fanboys and simultaneously makes the goal of putting one's penis in her impossible. The fact that she isn't real is also an obstacle. Often spun off into MUST PUT INTO.
- Must we post EVERY page of EVERY webcomic?
- Minor forced meme when webcomics are posted. Webcomics are despised, notably Megatokyo, and inevitably collaspe into flame wars, especially those featuring an anime art style. Often countered by flames accusing posters of being selfhating Japanophiles. (See JAPAN IS SUPERIOR)
- MySQL Connection Failure
- An annoying event involving some of 4chan's software that occassionally prevents replying to posts. In an earlier incarnation of 4chan, MySQL connection failures also prevented the viewing of threads. At one point, it was so prevalent that one of 4chan's title banners references the phenomenon. The MySQL Connection Error banner is still in the rotation, though the problem is neither as common nor as long-lasting as it used to be. On 9/3/05, the problem came back with a vengeance but has since subsided. Current failures usually involve missing HTML tags, though this has diminished significantly since the server upgrade was completed. Struck again right before 6 MIL Get, annoying everyone.

- Nanomachines
- Commonly posted in /h/ or /d/ in threads involving characters from the anime My Otome is the phrase "o noes her nanomachines!!!11"(sic). In the show, the super-powered Otome's nanoamachines -- implantations which are the source of their power -- are adversely affected by prostate-specific antigen, due to their bodies to generating antibodies that destroy the nanomachines. For this reason, they must remain virgins until they "retire" from their duties (or, as /a/ssholes point out, be gay).
- The exact mechanics of how this happens is glossed over. Further questions raised by fans are why the nanomachines cannot be made resistant to PSA, whether semen entering any mucous membranes is dangerous and precludes sex, whether it's possible to retire an Otome just by spraying her with semen or, most prominently, why they don't just use condoms. Most accept this as a plot device to explain the exclusively female use of them, but also the appeal to the standard otaku's fetish of virginal moeblobs.
- In a nutshell, any time hentai of an Otome having sex with a man appears, she's just been retired, thus the alarmed cry of "o noes her nanomachines!!11" (sic). Additionally, the phrase "I'd break her nanomachines" (or variations thereof) are used as an Otome-specific alternative to "I'd hit it".
- Natsuki Orsiko
- A supposed "manga-ka" (manga artist) who, according to her DeviantArt profile, lived on a chicken farm in Japan. However, her "art" was actually images from various HCG games, with a "pencil drawn" effect applied, most likely with Photoshop. The images that weren't from HCG games were pathetically bad MSPaint jobs, her reason for them being so bad being that they were drawn "really quickly". /b/, being the patriotic art fans that they are, exposed her as a fraud by compiling a large amount of evidence, comparing her "drawings" to the original CG images from the game companies' sites. This was promptly posted on her DA account, which was deleted, as well as her second account, apparently created after the first one was deleted. It also turned out she didn't live in Japan, and most certainly not Japanese. Orsiko isn't actually a Japanese word, for one.
- Since then, 4Chan has helped to expose a few similar "artists" on DA, due to it's vast collective knowledge of almost every HCG game in existence.
- NCDA
- The National Clone Detection Agency. They are the group dedicated to detecting and eliminating clones. The clone is identifiable by it's lack of any discernable nipples. Remember: Nipples = Original and No Nipples = Clone. Know the difference, it could save your life.
- Negers
- A crudely drawn cartoon of a black man with a pained expression ejaculating in a white woman's face; in the usual fashion, the man is often photoshopped into opportune locations. Never caught on as much as some other memes. Original negers made by _bnu.
- Nesquik
- Laughably bad attempt at a forced meme.
- Nevada-tan

- Nice try doppleganger. Save it for queen Dopplepopolis
- A quote from the TV series Sealab 2021 by Captain Murphy was started by namefag Black_Knight in /b/, as a counter to DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS refering to the post and using the phrase "Nice try doppleganger. Save it for queen Dopplepopolis" This backfired as other users used the phrase as well and it spread to other users and several photoshops of an image being mirrored to face itself with marco next. Because of /b/'s forced Anonymous status, it has not been seen.
- Nigga
- A reference to the infamous underground "Tokyo Breakfast" comedy sketch. Google for it, but don't watch it at work or in front of kids.
- Nigga Please
- meme involving photoshopping just about anyone saying said meme. Notable pictures include the Pope and cute anime girls. The meme probably originates from a skit on The Chris Rock Show featuring an advertisement for "Nigga Please" cereal where the phrase is repeated multiple times with a funny tone of voice.
- Nigger Jesus Ban
- A meme in refrence to a flame war on "Biblocality", a christian forum board. One 4chan user was perma-banned and given the reason: "Called Jesus A Nigger"
- Nigra
- the name for /b/tards who are raiding Habbo Hotel. they often dance in front of doorways and access points to various functions of the room (such as the ladder of the pool) and are identified by their characteristic afroes and business suits.
- No nips or vag00 = worksafe.
- The debatable claim that any picture that doesn't show nipples or vagina is worksafe. It is often used to justify posting mild /e/ material or "cheesecake" photos (in which the woman is at least partially nude but has her breasts and pussy covered by non-clothing items) on worksafe boards. While technically a penis would fall under the "no nips or vag00" category, it is normally used only in reference to pictures of females.
- No other manga, and maybe no other book, on the bookshelf will leave you thinking like Fullmetal Alchemist
- A sentence taken from Anime News Network's review of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. (The incorrect comma use is actually part of the review.) A fairly common remark on /a/ when discussing the series itself or general ANN faggotry. Another common variation is "No other anime, and maybe no other television show, on the boob tube will leave you (thinking, fapping, wanting to kill yourself, ect) like (insert anime here.)"
- Not Enough Nerve Endings
- November 16, 2006. In >>15827097, a Borat imagemacro saying "GREAT SUCCESS!" was posted, predicting that ">>15829229 WILL BRING UPON THE END OF THE WORLD AND /b/ THE GREATEST GET EVER!!!!!!!!!" /b/ was temporarily excited about this new arbitrary GET and speculated what it might be. Soon enough, >>15829229 turned out to be a post simply saying "not enough nerve endings," in response to a girl (?) who said "I'd trade my vagina for a PENIS anyday" in a thread about gender swapping. /b/ was ambivalent about whether this constituted a satisfactory GET.

- not news, needs pruning
- A common response in /n/ to posts that either contain no actual news story, or contain one that's considered less than newsworthy. Typically includes a "sage".
O
- OH GOD SHANA IS HOT
- Refers to the heroine of the anime Shakugan no Shana. Shana's badass personality and habit of yelling "Shut up, shut up, shut up", along with a propensity of the animators to draw her in swimsuits, endeared her to fanboys on /a, although the fact that she clearly fits into the loli category precludes the meme from spreading into /e/ or /h/.
- OH SHI-
- From the movie trailer cliche of cutting away just before s
