Along with 'Pull the trigger!', 'Take the shot' is a catchphrase used by those participating in the Patty Party. Though most often used by Patty Partiers acknowledging the
meme, it is also shouted from afar at Rooney Mara, to remind her of her origins in the block.
The Patty Party is a celebration of Rooney "Trishalicious
Patricia Patsy Patrice The Trish" Mara (born
Patricia Rooney Mara), an American screen actress. Mara became an internet
meme in early
2016, after a 2011 YouTube video resurfaced of
Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson referring to Mara as "Trish". The
meme was further developed under the hashtag "pattygate2k16", when several Tumblr users discovered that Mara's whole stage name is, in fact, a last name (her mother's maiden name being Rooney).
Though it is unclear under what circumstances the phrase was coined, it must be noted that those who use it in everyday life are in acknowledgement of Mara's true identity, that stripped of stardom she is just 'Patty from the block', and agree that 'Patty brings the party'.
Person 1: Look! There's Rooney Mara!
Person 2: Hey, Rooney! Take the
shot!
Person 1: I
don'
t think she heard.
Person 2: Nah, she did. Ol' Trish just doesn't want to remember the block.
