A internet forum phrase originally coined in Something Awful forums (like nearly every other
internet phrase, really), this is an image with a (hopefully) funny phrase relating to the situation in the thread.
They're usually intended as offensive, but are generally seen as a rather low form of "entertainment" and
don't generate much heat in a flame
war unless the person or thread it's aimed at is particularly sensitive.
