About

Haci Como Escuchaste or Así Como Escuchaste refers to a sarcastic expression used by the Spanish-speaking community, which translates to "Just like you heard." The phrase, which purposely misspells "Haci" of the Spanish word "Así," is often associated with an image macro of Green M&M seated on a couch, and the pairing is used as a reaction image by people sharing embarrassing situations and dealing with an unwavering and over-confident attitude. The meme was popularized around November 2022 on Facebook and Twitter.
