About
Silence X, a Y Is Talking refers an exploitable meme template showing the King Baldwin IV Hand Raise image paired with a top and bottom caption reading the aforementioned phrasal template in which meme creators recaption the X and Y spot to read two opposing archetypes. For instance, one of the most notable examples read, "Silence Pothead, an Alcoholic Is Talking." The meme trended en masse in mid-2024 predominantly on Twitter / X.
