Memetic appropriation

Basically cultural appropriation but specifically regarding memes. Memetic appropriation is when somebody says a meme reference but they don't actually understand the context behind the meme and have no idea where the meme originated from. They only say it because everybody else is saying it.
User 1: This joke ain't even funny
User 2: r/wooosh
User 1: Stop memetic appropriating, you didn't even spell the sub right

An appropriate card

1. A card played in Cards Against Humanity that sounds like it works and won't get your video demonetized, until you or someone else decided to read too far between the lines. See too appropriate

1b. A card played in Cards Against Humanity that actually works too well, so it doesn't get picked.

2. An excuse that shouldn't work, but it does. Works best in the form of something you might find on a notecard or some similarly sized, stiff, paper-like object
1. Well, the black card is “(Blank) reminds me of my weeaboo days” so an appropriate card is “sitting in my room with the lights out watching unrealistic videos by myself”… wait… that could mean something else…

1b. Well, the black card is “(Blank) reminds me of my weeaboo days” so I’ll play “being a weeaboo”. Wait, “sitting in my room with the lights out watching unrealistic videos by myself” won? I guess I played an appropriate card.

2. So, I was just getting arrested for stealing thousands of dollars of Hasbro games from Toys "R" Us, but I managed to grab the get out of jail free card from one of my new monopoly sets. Take that, racist cops!

Cultural Appropriation

Cultural appropriation is when someone steals something from a culture that isn't their own. This is not the same as Cultural Appreciation.

So when white people wear box braids or cornrows, IT IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. AND YOU WILL GO BALD BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT HAIR TEXTURE
1: You cant wear box braids, its cultural appropriation
2: Ok, so we are gatekeeping hairstyles now?
1: No, Box braids are from the AFRICAN culture... It started back in slave times.
2: Tf that gotta do wit me, Chile?
1: You are doing cultural appropriation and using aave? Educate yourself, please...
