tenso

FROM: knowyourmeme.com/memes/tenso

About
The word “tenso” is Portuguese for “tense”. This is a meme that spread through Brazilian blogs and forums, and consists of an image edited to form a sequence that closes up the frame and emphasizes a “tense” face or situation. In form, it is similar to a common vertical 4-Pane, a common exploitable format; although the number of actual frames may vary.

Sometimes the close up reveals something that is not seen in the original image, creating an effect of surprise. In this way, it delivers an effect similar to the when you see it, you’ll shit bricks meme.

Origins
This meme started as a joke in the Brazilian gaming forum “Vale Tudo” (UOL Games). Some of the members of this forum claim that it is inspired by 4chan memes and was adapted to Portuguese language, but it is not clear if a specific meme served as inspiration, or if it was instead the common vertical panel format to which they were refer.

In late 2008 the idea started to spread to other forums and became a fad in brazilian blogs and social medias.

Shinra Tensei

A super-powerful move used by the Akatsuki member Pein (Nagato) that allows one to create a powerful blast that will push away anything. Pein uses it to completely destroy the leaf village, in addition to using it while fighting Kakashi, Choji, Jiraiya, Sage-Mode Naruto, and Kyuubi Naruto.

It can also be used in an everyday context to refer to someone getting completely destroyed.
Version 1: Pein used Shinra Tensei and completely fucked up the Leaf Village in Naruto.

Version 2: If you don't pay me back, I will go Shinra Tensei on your ass.

Toilet Tension

When you are taking a deuce in public, and someone walks into the bathroom, so you close your cheeks with all your might. Of course, when the bathroom is empty, your bowels explode your shit outward at Mach 3.
I was taking a shit yesterday at Applebee's, and somebody walks in. So I get toilet tension and seize up my ass. So this guy left, and it was just me. So I explode my ass, and shortly after, I hear someone flush a urinal...I guess someone walked in when the other guy walked out...
