Is inb4 widespread enough to be considered a valid meme?

oo thats a tough one. Since its usually tied to CP on 4chan i would have to say NSFW, but i can’t really say if it’s a meme. However, it is a very popular form of chanspeak
Redspear, Inb4 isn’t tied to CP on 4chan but you’re right, it is more a chanspeak that something that can mutate/being altered
inb4 admin says “I say go for it. It’s an important part of Internet Slang.” or anything similar to it.
it is a meme.. a internet slang meme.
i thought it meant inb4 meant “in before the admins caught you”
no.. just in before. thats all
The “in before” thing is supposed to cancel anyone who answer with what followed “inb4”, because it’s generally obvious to do so, but yet, there are no derivatives created from the slang.
Its acts as a warning.
I saw one picture, 2 maybe, at the very least.
No themed video, no ytmnd…
It’s like lmao or rofl.
Yeah, I guess Tomberry is right. I tried looking around but there are no, if not, only a minimal number of “inb4” images on all the image sharing websites I know of.
in b4 dictionary… :D
I’d say it’s worth having an entry, just note that this is slang/dictionary-oriented rather than “itself a meme” -- we’re still a ways off from having a real version of the dictionary available, and will cull through the DB and move things when we do
