Let It Hang, Sister / Untuck Now, Queen

About

Let It Hang, Sister and Untuck Now, Queen are catchphrases associated with a series of memes in which a character is depicted saying either phrase, often through a speech bubble. The phrases make reference to the transgender community, specifically male-to-female trans women, encouraging them to untuck their penises and let them hang freely. While the earliest known meme using the phrases was posted to X / Twitter in February 2024, the meme was purportedly started on Discord as early as February 2023.
