ONE WAY, DE WAE

Overview

A 2x2 grid meme featuring a person in a red bird-like costume with an orange jacket and yellow background. Top-left panel: character covers mouth with a secretive/surprised expression. Top-right panel: a "ONE WAY" street sign with a right-pointing arrow against a blue sky. Bottom-left panel: character points with a thumb and smiles, appearing amused/guiding.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit (submitted under the title "This wee brodahs!!") and is a remix of the 2017 Ugandan Knuckles meme, which popularized the phrase "Do you know de wae?". It combines a real person in a red bird costume (likely referencing the Ugandan Knuckles character) with edited street signs, replacing "ONE WAY" with "DE WAE" to create a pun on the meme's catchphrase. The image was created via collage editing, incorporating existing street sign visuals and new costume photography, with an "ifunny.co" watermark indicating possible reposting from that platform.

A two-panel meme featuring a weather-related pun on the name of rapper Lil Wayne. The top panel shows a flooded street with standing water, overlaid with the text 'LIL' WAYNE' (a play on 'little Wayne'). The bottom panel depicts a scene of heavy rain with palm trees bending in the wind, overlaid with the text 'LOTTA WAYNE' (a play on 'lot of Wayne').

The bottom panel shows the same character in the identical sitting posture but wearing a formal black suit with a white shirt and bow tie, with a subtly amused or smug expression; the text here reads 'Winnie the Pooh but in a suit'.
