diagetic

It's diagetic sound, usually music, when it's coming from something inside the movie. Usually, the characters can hear it, too. It's the opposite of background music.

When Jack Johnson said "the diagetic world is so unclear" he was mocking people who "put the BACKGROUND music behind the news tonight." The news audience needs non-diagetic sound (music) to tell them how to react to news, as if it were a movie. Even movies sometimes have only diagetic sound.

Get the diagetic mug.

Doge

A meme featuring a dog staring at the camera with several phrases in Comic Sans written in broken English, that circulated around the internet after Japanese teacher Atsuko Sato took photos of her Shiba Inu and posted them on her blog. The "Doge" moniker comes from a joke by TV show Homestar Runners, in which a character calls someone a "D-O-G-E".

The first instance of Doge being used outside the blog was a now archived Reddit post titled "LMBO LOOK @ THIS FU**EN DOGE." It then spread to more of Reddit and eventually reached mainstream meme culture. Several variations of the meme were made while it spread, such as Doge Twinkie, Buff Doge, and more.

Public recognization of the meme has been widespread, and Doge even got a cryptocurrency named after him, DogeCoin. YouTube released an easter egg which changes the interface to the Doge style when the user searches up 'doge meme'.

Joe: Bro why are you so tired?
Jack: I spent all night looking at Buff Doge memes.
