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.

Though the meme is everywhere lately, it was originally posted to Tumblr [1] in August 2016 by user wecknician. Most recently, the meme has taken off on Twitter, and the results are hilarious.
