About

Sosig is an image macro featuring an image of the Chef and TV personality Gordon Ramsay holding a sausage with the caption "sosig."



Origins


The original photo that was edited to make the first "sosig" meme comes from a photo of Gordon Ramsay taken from Dave Pullig's Flickr account on June 18th 2006.[5] The word "sosig" likely stems from an image of a child's drawing uploaded to Imgur on Septermber 24th, 2015.[2] On July 22nd, 2016 the Facebook page "Colorful Ｍ ｅ ｍ ｅ ｓ"[1] created the Gordon Ramsey sosig image macro in a gallery called "sosig."

Spread

The "sosig" gallery gained over 2100 likes in a week. It spawned Weird Facebook pages devoted primarily posting "sosig" memes, including "Sending nudes i r o n i c a l l y"[3] and "It was just a sosig bro,"[4] both of which acquired thousands of likes in a few days. On July 29th, 2016, The Daily Dot[7] published an article explaining sosig, causing the pages to ironically declare sosig was dead.[8]

As of August 1st, 2016, there have been 99 posts uploaded to iFunny under the "#sosig" tag.[6]
