This meme uses a scene from *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers*. On the left, the scheming character Grima Wormtongue is labeled "My internet-poisoned brain", leaning in to whisper into the ear of the exhausted, aged King Theoden on the right, who is labeled "Me reading the word 'citrussy' on a restaurant menu". The joke relies on popular internet slang: the suffix "-ussy" is widely used online to create vulgar puns, so people who spend significant time online automatically misparse the innocent, standard adjective "citrussy" (meaning having a citrus flavor) as an inappropriate vulgar term, causing awkward distress.

A meme with a top banner displaying the text 'Know the difference. Save a life.' Below the banner, two images are placed side by side: on the left, a black submachine gun labeled 'GAT'; on the right, a photograph of a person's lower back and buttocks in tight blue jeans labeled 'GYATT'. The meme humorously contrasts the similar-sounding slang terms 'GAT' (a colloquial term for a gun) and 'GYATT' (internet slang referring to an attractive buttocks or a reaction to something attractive).

The image depicts a person dressed in a Spider-Man costume standing on a stage in front of a large projection screen. The screen displays the text: 'Your brain automatically translates wtf but not lol'. The setting appears to be a lecture hall with an audience visible in the foreground, suggesting a formal presentation scenario. The humor stems from the contrast between the unexpected use of a Spider-Man costume in a lecture context and the relatable observation about how the brain processes internet slang—interpreting 'wtf' as its full phrase but leaving 'lol' as an acronym.
