About

Fohhh is an acronym for "fuck outta here," short for "get the fuck out of here." It began seeing use as a meme in late 2017 following a tweet by Twitter user @chelllssseeea which used the term. After people began making fun of the tweet, a lengthy Twitter thread adapting the tweet to various Simpsons screenshots began going viral.

Origin

"Foh" is an acronym for "fuck outta here." On April 13th, 2003, Urban Dictionary user The Big Nug T[1] defined it as such (shown below).

Spread

The phrase continued seeing use in the following years, usually in black subcultures online such as Black Twitter, in situations where one is dismissing ideas (examples shown below).

@chelllssseeea Tweet

On September 1st, 2017, Twitter user @chelllssseeea tweeted two tweets which read, "sucking dick while my man plays 2K >>>>>>" and "LMAO y'all thought i meant my mans dick? 😂 fohhhh".[2] The tweets gained 58 and 48 retweets, respectively (shown below).

Because @chellssseeea is a white woman with a moderately significant following on Twitter (over 7,000 followers), people began making fun of the tweet, particularly its use of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). On September 23rd, 2017, Twitter user @burgerkrang[3] tweeted a video of himself reading @chelllssseeea's tweet, pronouncing "fohhh" phonetically. The tweet gained 135 retweets and 680 likes (shown below).




After the tweet, the phrase began seeing minor use as a meme on Twitter among people who understood the reference. For example, on November 12th, 2017, Twitter user @meowiewowwie[4] tweeted a riff on the joke featuring a raccoon image macro (shown below).

On December 11th, Twitter user @Vrunt[5] tweeted screenshots from the Steamed Hams scene from The Simpsons, adapting @chelllssseeea's tweet to fit the scene. It gained 270 retweets and over 1,800 likes (Simpsons screens shown below).


[ THOUGHT IyOU WERE SUCKING YOUR MAN'S D---

This started a lengthy thread in which Twitter users adapted the tweet to fit various Simpsons scenes. For example, Twitter user @CMackDC[6] applied the quote to the Lemon of Troy scene, gaining 11 retweets and over 120 likes (screens shown below).
