About

A Guillotine is an execution apparatus built to efficiently carry out executions by beheading. Though similar execution machines could be found in the middle ages, the guillotine is widely associated with the 18th century French Revolution, during which, members of the French noble class were beheaded.[11] In memes, guillotines are typically used in the discussion of class wars and references to the apparatus are made in reaction to tone-deaf actions or statements from those with a high income.

Origin

Although the name "guillotine" dates back to 18th century France, many netizens began referring to the apparatus in memes in the 2000s. On October 13th, 2011, the earliest known meme involving the guillotine was posted to Smosh[1] in the list "The Best of Troll Dad" (shown below).

Dad, is there an exercise machine that'1l help me drop A guillotine. 10 pounts of ugly fat?
