About
Me Leaving X With Y Up My Ass is a phrasal snowclone used as a caption for footage of people walking or standing in an awkward manner, most notably a clip of Spencer characte Princess Diana stumbling down a hall and a photograph of the playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda. The memes often mention speculated or canceled sequels of various franchises.
Origin
Memes in which videos of people moving awkwardly were captioned with jokes about carrying something in their rectum have gone viral online since January 2021, with the joke originally centered around hiding Uno cards. On January 14th, 2021, Twitter[1] user @BhadDhad posted a clip of Kim Kardashian walking in a tense manner, captioning it, "me leaving the room after screaming UNO! with 4 cards up my ass." The tweet (shown below) gained over 130 retweets and 1,000 likes.
