About
"A Fucking Leaf" is a slang expression used on 4chan when referring to commenters residing in Canada to mock the country's maple leaf flag.
Origin
On the 4chan boards /pol/ and /int/, a country's flag associated with the approximate location of the poster is prominently displayed above their post next to the title. Sometime in mid-2015, 4chan users began mocking the maple leaf symbol on the Canadian flag, referring to it as "a fucking leaf." The earliest archived post using the expression was submitted to /pol/ on August 5th, 2015 (shown below).[1]
Spread
On August 31st, 2015, FunnyJunk[2] user actualsingaporean uploaded a Polandball comic in which a Canadaball chooses "a fucking leaf" for their flag (shown below).
On August 27th, 2016, a post[3] titled "Canadian Unite: Sick and Tired of the Damn Leaf comments," was posted on /pol/, which complained about 4chan users writing "Hurr a fucking leaf" when replying to Canadians (shown below).
