An extremely popular Internet catch phrase. Not
necessarily typed in all caps. Sometimes shortened by omitting "THE." Also sometimes used with an intentional mispelling of "THE" as "TEH."
Many people think that having heated debates over
the Internet is a pointless
waste of time, no matter what the topic of discussion might be. Thus, this catch phrase was born. At times, the phrase makes a valid point. However, there are many people who overuse the phrase, thereby degrading it's merit and humor.
