ABOUT MEMEMEANING

A little less lost online.

MemeMeaning explains the internet expressions that can make a comment section feel like a different language. It is written for English-speaking readers and people who use English online, including those who are learning the language.

Meaning is only the beginning

Knowing a definition is useful. Knowing whether a reply is affectionate, sarcastic or dismissive is often more useful. Our explanations pair a plain-English meaning with context, original dialogue and the things that are easy to misread.

Check the sources

Each published explanation links to independently published sources that support its central meaning. We write original examples rather than presenting invented conversations as real posts.

How it stays current

AI-assisted research and writing help prepare new explanations and material updates. Automated checks control publication, and uncertain topics are held back. This process can still make mistakes. We do not promise that an expression is popular today simply because it has been used online.
