About
"When U Mom Com Home And Make Hte Spagheti" is an intentionally misspelled expression derived from a Tumblr post featuring a GIF of a dancing green alien.
Origin
On April 21st, 2012, Tumblr user familyfriendlyurl[2] posted an animated GIF of a dancing green alien captioned with the phrase “when u Mom com home and make hte spagheti.” As of June 20th, 2013, the post has more than 98,000 notes. The dancing alien GIF[3] has been used online since the 1990s in banner ads for mortgage loan services.[1]
Spread
On May 18th, 2013, the phrase was used on the IGN forums[4] as the subject of a thread containing nothing else but the dancing alien GIF, which yielded a dozen of confused responses from other posters. The same day, a second thread[5] dedicated to the phrase was created by another user. By May 20th, derivatives of the phrase began appearing[6], with posts naming other dishes mom comes home to make, misspelled in a similar manner
On May 30th, the esoteric phrase was used as the title of a thread on the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic forum Brohoof.[7] The same day, TumblTrends2013[8] reported that both the phrase and the alien GIF have been frequently popping up on Tumblr dashboards. On June 6th, a Facebook fan page[9] for the phrase was created. In early June, similar threads dedicated to the phrase were posted on music forum Spill It Now[10] and Phantasy Star Online forum PSO-World.[11]
