Various Tumblr[2] users reblogged 00ff80's post adding their own variations of the format over the following months, including images of carps labeled "carb" and a squid labeled "squit" (examples shown below).

MFs Really Named This

MFs Really Named This, also written as MFs Really Called This, is a phrasal template that takes the name of a common object and misrepresents it in a way to produce a comical effect. Typically these memes are a combination of a picture of an object with a photoshopped caption to deliver the joke. Each meme of this type starts with the same setup using a variation of the phrase "MFs really named this" in the top text followed by the punchline in the bottom text.

Various Examples

LOVE THIS ANIMAL THE SLUT
LOVE THIS ANIMAL THE SNACK
LOVE THIS ANIMAL THE FIST
LOVE THIS ANIMAL THE BIRT
LOVE THIS ANIMALS THE BEEP
