A meme originating from Basilmarket created by a poster named 1evenstar. The meme started when a basiler asked if a 270m glitter glove was worth it. After posting the response "Yes, but a cordon would be better if scrolled", it was copied and pasted for the next 10 pages.

Ninja Chef:Stick them in the Dishwasher

Chef #1:That guy is a true "Cordon Blag" artist.

Example 2:
