This phrase is from a 2007 Cingular/AT&T commercial wherein a preteen girl talks in all internet/texting acronyms while her mother reprimands her for excessive texting. This has been parodied in various ways.

I don’t think it’s significant enough to be a meme.

I think it might just be a meme. Anyone who disagrees, let your voice be heard.

I vote for meme — it was recontextualized on the internet and iterated. Need to think more about the forced aspect, though.

I’d say it’s a meme. I see it a lot on message boards, especially Gaia and 4Chan.

I can’t believe this hasn’t been accepted yet. This is definitely a meme, no denying it.

As a member (or Meme-ber as the case may be) of deviantArt who knows the original creator, I can confirm this.

Other than that, I hate this “meme” if it should be called that.

This got so annoying for me when people started in with it.

Mostly ‘cause I don’t watch TV and preteen girls annoy me to no end.
