About
I Wasn't Gonna Drink Tonight But Man… I'm Missin' Geto Like a MF refers to a series of memes using the phrasal template "I wasn't gonna drink tonight but man… I'm missin' X like a MF," with "X" being the name of someone or something that the poster misses. The format is based on a video posted to TikTok in August 2023 in which a person pours a shot and expresses how much they miss Geto, a character from Jujutsu Kaisen. That same year, a screenshot of the video garnered viral spread online as an exploitable meme format in which "Geto" is replaced with another word.
