About

Ouhhh… Husbant… Now We Are Homeress… refers to a series of memes based on photographs of Japanese singer Mogusa Shirose captioned with Engrish monologue in which she accuses her husband of spending too much money on his hobby, resulting in them now being homeless. The most common photo used in the format is of Shirose standing outside in snowy weather looking sad while staring into the camera. Started by a 2020 4chan post about spending too much on video games, the format achieved virality in June 2022.
