What Is Snek?
3.6BRAINROT SCORESnek Deliberately cute misspelling of 'snake' used in captioned snake memes.
Origin:Appeared as an apparent genuine misspelling in YouTube video titles between 2009 and 2011 and was used as an intentional joke spelling by 2012, in the same silly-spelling culture as LOLcats and doge. A 'This Is Snek' photo caption circulated from early 2014 (a January 24, 2014 FunnyJunk post is recorded) and the r/snek community followed. Accounts differ on whether the word predates that photo, so the exact sequence is unsettled.
