A spin off of the phrase "jet fuel can't melt steel beams," referring to the tragedy of 9/11 where conspirators say that it must have been an inside job for this reason. To shame this phrase, it has become a meme of sorts and people use it jokingly. The replacement of the word "beams" to "memes" was simply further fuckery with the phrase.
"We shall now bow our heads in a moment of silence for those who lost their lives on this tragic day."
*voice in the crowd* "Jet fuel can't melt steel memes ,"
*conspirators chanting* "inside job. Inside job. Inside job. Inside job..."
*voice in the crowd* "Jet fuel can't melt steel memes ,"
*conspirators chanting* "inside job. Inside job. Inside job. Inside job..."

What was once the ultimate put down. The strongest diss you could say to somebody who was annoying you by being physical with something you own.
Starting off with expensive things that other poor kids couldn't afford, this was a snobbish insult used by richer kids who had the flashest new gear and one of the poorer kids wanted to touch it as they could never afford somethign so extravagent. This was in fear of the poorer kids leaving germs or nits on the item leaving the richer kid fucked later on. This would put them in their place and the poor kids would know their place in society.
However, things started to get a bit out of hand circa 1997. The diss spread wildly across Britain's schools and soonn became used in day to day conversations heard in the playground; the cheaper the tackier the item the better the insult. It was a witty way of saaying "you're so poor that..." but without having to use the brainpower to think of an item and and it would leave people hurt inside.
Soon enough people found a way of responding to this comment which was to get your wallet out and show you have enough money to indeed afford the item, thus making the person who used it look silly and make their point completely void. Soon after this was discovered people stopped using it, and thus sending a classic diss to the history books along with "your mum gives head for bread" and other such insults.

Person 1 "Hey, Let me have a look at that pen."
Person 2 "Oi, don't touch what you can't afford!"
Person 1 "Damn...you didn't have to go there."

the confused reaction of the reader when dealing with incorrect or inefficient citing techniques done by the writer
His essay is so interesting and I want to read more from his expert’s reference but citation is bad. I can't find the stupid link in the works cited so I'm giving up hope.

This term means someone is so simple minded that they can't figure out the simplest problems. Their minds are like great big empty voids of any kind of logical thought. This is why even though the can see the trees their simple minds can't grasp that's the forest.
Ray : Did you see that guy trying to change his flat tire, it took him an at least an hour.
Tony :That guy can't see the forest through the trees.
