We gather newly rising and long-lasting memes. We don't judge; we show them as-is. The interpretation is up to you.
The real Jeju-dialect subtitle from a 2020 JTBC news interview with a grandmother during Typhoon Maysak: roughly "I heard a bang and thought lightning struck — I didn't realize something had collapsed, so I went out to look, and I didn't sleep a wink until dawn, us folks in this neighborhood." Viewers who couldn't parse the thick dialect jokingly transcribed it phonetically as if it were English — "would like hater top one for the chuck wonder like station 동네사람들" — and that mishearing became the meme. It isn't English at all; it's authentic Jeju dialect.
A Twitch-born meme pairing a photo of a knife-wielding Dolhareubang statue with slashing onomatopoeia and profanity, originally an audio-terror TTS donation gag revived on Twitter in 2020.
