About

Wait I'm Goated is a catchphrase and a series of puns started by the Instagram page @waitimgoated123 (formerly known as @bug2sick) in 2023. The phrase uses the slang term "goated," a variation of the acronym G.O.A.T, made notable because of the Quirked Up White Boy Goated With The Sauce meme. "Wait I'm Goated" was most often used as a top caption for images of cute animals like cats, hamsters and goats. The phrase also gained usage on TikTok, alongside the launch of the Wait I'm Goated t-shirt, worn by influencers like Diddybop and Henry Kava.

Origin

The inspiration for the later inception of "Wait I'm Goated" was an altered Instagram story screenshot posted by Instagram[1] user @throwingfits on June 1st, 2023, which read, "idk how to flirt i done called this bitch goated," and gained roughly 10,300 likes and multiple, cross-platform reposts in two months (shown below, left). Sometime in June 2023, Instagram user @bug2sick (since deleted) made a back-up account called @waitimgoated123, where they started uploading memes that recaptioned and exploited the aforementioned meme (example via an Instagram[2] repost shown below, right).

@bu2sick's account was removed by Instagram sometime before July 15th, 2023, causing them to pivot full-time to their backup @waitimgoated123. Although all of the account's first memes using the "Wait I'm Goated" catchphrase have since been archived by the account, the admin posted a series of "Wait I'm Goated" memes in a photo slideshow on their TikTok[3] account @bug2sick on July 15th, gaining roughly 2,500 plays and 350 likes in three weeks (examples shown below).
