''Know Shaming'' is the petty social act of making someone feel smaller or stupid for literally not having known the information someone is telling them. Know shaming can occur in social or academic discourse, but also in interactions around media or celebrity consumption.
A: Have you heard of band XYZ?
B: No I Hav---
A: OMG! How do you not know about them!??!?!? Do you live under a rock?!?!! I knew about them ages ago like before they got popular.... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM.

Get the Know Shaming mug.1) an indefinite, yet apparent type of subjective knowing/awareness that is better than any other way of knowing
2) the best that is known at a time, but can still be improved upon, like with new knowledge/information
2) the best that is known at a time, but can still be improved upon, like with new knowledge/information
1) Especially in these times of Information age when our knowledge of our world is so vast, much more accessible via this wwweb, and could often use much improvement, the importance to not merely know, but to best-know, will be increasingly realized.
2) Those people's multitude energies, computations, algorithms, complications, hard works, etc. provided them a certain degree of knowing, that worked okay, but when that other group's best-know confronted their efforts, their was no question - and through their OWN way of knowing at that - that they'd be better to adopt from that best-know.

Get the Do you know Xander Alvarez? mug.even though most people think the popular gen alpha TikTok phrase "Those who know" was made in 2024, it actually has a way longer history on TikTok.
It became popular around 2021-2022 during the "mr incredible becoming uncanny" and "xqc becoming uncanny" memes. these types of memes would usually provide a video with nearly no context while showing mr incredible becoming uncanny or xqc becoming uncanny on the top/bottom, implying something bad or shocking happened.
since you would obviously look in the comment section for any source or context, of course the only people who understands will comment "those who know💀."
now around 2024-2025 it's slowly coming back and just now becoming popular again, now with the trollface and mangos meme instead of the basic skull emojis.
