What Does This Mean?
Spanish-language internet phrase for a stale, outdated or cringeworthy meme: "momo" is Facebook-era slang for a meme and "rancio" is the Spanish adjective for old, past its time. It is used both as a mock insult and as an affectionate label for old-style meme humour.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Ese es un momo rancio" she said about the 2014 template."
LORE & ORIGIN
Urban Dictionary's papulince entry (2020) glosses "momos" as memes, and Spanish dictionaries list a figurative, derogatory sense of rancio meaning outdated ("anticuado"). The two-word phrase is visible as a tag on a Spanish meme site ("momos rancios") and as the name of Facebook pages, but those pages could not be opened, so its use is inferred from the documented parts. No source gives a first use or an author. The entry for momazo covers the opposite praise term.
