Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Absorbing foreign words has been happening since forever in English. Example: Mirror is an English word, right? No, it's a loan word from French, introduced after the Norman conquest in 1066. The English word is "looking-glass".

Don't have a cow (English), what's your beef (French)?

You’re taking about absorbing. I’M NOT. I never was. You all are manufacturing a different argument for that smug satisfaction of amassing worthless internet points.

I have no shits to give about them or any of you! Lol. So do go on, feverishly pecking away paragraphs of rebuttals without ever considering that you all missed the fucking point entirely.

You go on and have the argument you wanted. You seem well versed in telling me what I’m saying, and I have better things to do than to constantly explain to you all that you’re creating an argument where there isn’t one.

bain sult as an gcaisleán a ionsaí!

(That’s English for “have fun storming the castle!” if you didn’t recognize it) 😂
