My Red Flags Are Big, But My Boobs Are Bigger

About

My Red Flags Are Big, But My Boobs Are Bigger or Her Red Flags Are Big, But So Are Her Boobs is a catchphrase popularized via image macros showing anime girls with large breasts alongside the caption, sometimes saying the phrase, "my red flags are big but my boobs are bigger" in a speech bubble.
