About

"o i am laffin" refers to a popular meme on 4chan's music board, /mu/, in which the poster expresses sarcastic or incredulous laughter.

Origin

On December 9th, 2012, a post[1] on 4chan's music board was made in which an anonymous poster posted a SoundCloud link of "Royals," a song by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, well before the song became a hit. The poster asked for feedback on the song, claiming to be its author. When this was discovered, it fueled a rumor that Lorde herself had been posting on 4chan. The anonymous poster ended the post with the phrase "in b4 tits and the kitchen."

"o i am laffin" originates from a tweet from Lorde in response to the rumor that she had posted the song on 4chan herself. It was posted on Twitter on February 2nd, 2014.[4] It reads:

The spread of the phrase prompted a thread on /r/lewronggeneration[2] investigating the story and a thread on /r/outoftheloop[3] asking about the origin. It has since remained a popular quote throughout social media outlets like Twitter and Reddit.

Various Examples

Because I know what the PR guy wants from me. There's no real deception there. He's trying to convince me to buy his product. Journos on the other hand, have a completely different agenda. They don't want me to buy a game. They want me to submit to their ideology, and they'll use any tactic they can think of to force me. I'll take the PR guy. 32 ^ 、 . Reply . Share)
