increasingly verbose meme

A type of multi-frame image in which a lackluster or overused meme is replicated with poorer graphical fidelity but increased verbosity successive times to the point where it is difficult to understand the meme without the original context. Also called 'meme corruption' or 'progressively verbose meme'.
Captions of an increasingly verbose meme:

Frame 1: It's high noon

Frame 2: The time is 12pm.

Frame 3: The grandfather clock currently displays a reading of twelve o'clock post meridian.

Frame 4: It has become increasingly apparent to me that due to the rotation of Earth relative to the Sun, the current "time" as defined by Ancient Egyptians via the decan system is denoted by the numerical value "twelve" of the clock, signalling that the Sun is at the highest point in the sky.

Versasexual 

Defined by a sexual attraction or acceptance of partnership of both one side and another.
The name is derived from the term “vers” as well as the phrase “vice versa.”

Will be with:
Boy AND Girl
Cis AND Trans
Binary AND Non-binary
Top AND Bottom
Dom AND Sub
Monogamy AND Polygamy

While this may sound like pan, it’s different in how it applies to a broader range of scenarios than just the sex of the person.
Also, it means that a Versasexual does care about the sex, while pan is defined as being okay regardless of sex.
While the other sexuality terms rely solely on the sex/gender of the person, Versasexual displays versatility in not just that, but other aspects of a sexual relationship.
I’m Versasexual. I’ll sleep with any gender, top or bottom, dom or sub. I’m the Swiss Army knife of sex.

Verbosity is the ability, limited in the general population, to utilize words which may be archaic, lengthy, and in the English language are more often than not based in Latin. Quite often, the phrases used in such a manner are synonymous with much more succinct forms. In addition to the expansive vocabulary utilized, prose which is deemed 'verbose' will quite often feature parenthetical phrases in unusual frequency, as might be found in scientific journals or university textbooks. Though accepted in academic contexts for its ability to explain, in great detail, concepts which may seem rather complex to the average layperson, the overuse of excessive verbosity will often cause common folk, especially those who might be afflicted with the neurological disorder known as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), to lose interest in the concepts being explained, and thus the knowledge they might gain would be lost to them. Moderation, therefore, is the key to the proper usage of verbosity.

It's good for padding English essays, and there's a type of thread on 4chan that shows up every once in a while where people talk like that for the lulz.
Person 1: Should you deign to learn the definition of Verbose, one needs only glance upwards, and focus one's eyes on the paragraph above.
Person 2: Uh, you lost me at "deign."

Verbose boot

1. When a Mac (or Linux) user boots his/her computer in verbose boot mode. Like iDevice verbosity, except a bit less-filled with crap on the screen, and more juicy info. Mac users, hold down Command (/Apple) + V, Linux users, remove the -splash flag from your kernel boot string.(through the bootloader)

2. When after you've jailbroken (See jailbreaking your iDevice you use redsn0w to set it to verbose boot, so you can watch your iDevice load all it's settings and fuctions while it loads. Or, for debugging if something goes wrong and it won't boot. Highly useful.

Quite amusing, or even scary at times for friends.
Person 1: *walks into room and sees Person 2's Mac verbose booting*
Person 1: Whoah wtf omg what happened to your computer!?
Person 2: It's a verbose boot.

-- Example #2 --

Apple Customer *has device jailbroken*
Apple Store Rep: ..Ok, so what's wrong with it?
Apple Customer: It won't boot
Apple Rep: Well then let me take a look at it. *Presses power button and screen is filled with verbose text*
Apple Rep *gives the customer a weird expression* o_O

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
