This New Meme Making the Rounds on the Internet Will Make Every Know-It-All So Happy

The "me, an intellectual" meme making the rounds on the internet is causing us to laugh until we cry. Obviously, we (with our fancy words) are intellectuals, and this meme really speaks to us. The meme is simple to do: rephrase an ordinary word or sentence into something overly complicated and complex.

Though the meme is everywhere lately, it was originally posted to Tumblr in August 2016 by user wecknician. Most recently, the meme has taken off on Twitter, and the results are hilarious.
