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."

At times, the phrase makes a valid point. However, there are many people who overuse the phrase, thereby degrading it's merit and humor.
