'Bro girl' has become the internet's new favourite meme | indy100

Are Memes the Future of Money?

Indy

A new viral meme is doing the rounds on Twitter and it is a unique switcheroo on the classic 'man talking to a woman in a nightclub' gag.

The new meme involves a woman in a pink top yelling into the ear of a man wearing a white t-shirt at what appears to be a music festival. Who knows what they were originally talking about but the man looks completely unimpressed with what the woman has to say to him.

The meme has been dubbed 'girl explaining' or 'girl bro explaining.' It could also be 'girlsplaining.'

According to Know Your Meme, the image first appeared online way back in 2019 when it was used as a joke by the Spanish language Twitter account MemesNutricion.

Roughly translated the tweet said: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW FITNESS PAGES, THOSE ARE LIE, THEY HAVE NO TITLE. THE DETOX JUICE DID YOU SEE? IT DOES NOT WORK. THE SATIAL? EITHER. HERBALIFE, SHIT. ALL LIARS FRIEND. I STUDY NUTRITION AND THESE BLACKMAIL AND DON'T KNOW WHAT AN ATOM IS. Stamina yo nutritionist"

It wasn't until recently though that the meme format exploded on Twitter with many using the picture to imagine that the woman was explaining something very niche and complicated to the man.

\u201cokay so researchers say they have proof it was some bizarrely timed avalanche, but like no traces of an avalanche was found by rescuers right? plus, how does that explain the really traumatic injuries? or the fact that two of them were found barefoot in only their underwear?\u201d
