OMGWTFBBQ

Brainrot Score: 4.2 ⓘOBSERVED
[ SLANG ][ OLD WEB ][ MEME ]

Jokey, deliberately over-the-top internet exclamation of shock or confusion, a string of reaction abbreviations ending in a meaningless "BBQ" that mocks the pile-up of acronyms in online speech.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""The cat knocked over the whole tower. OMGWTFBBQ.""
