1. The whooshing. 2. The 1920s style death ray. 3. Hi, Opal\*. \*No, that’s not part of the list, but you can’t have a list with only 2 points. ---

Those aren’t memes. Each one is only used by one person. So your real question is “who has the most annoying catch phrase?”. ---

Let’s go down to the quarry is the only one that annoys me at all. Mostly because it doesn’t really seem like a meme. Just something that someone tried really hard to make into a meme and now it gets used more out of a general acknowledgment of how stupid it was to begin with. ---

I guess the word “stabby” isn’t quite a meme. Do the words “grok” and “Og” count as memes? Neither of them actually annoy me, but I haven’t seen much usage of them outside the board. ---

Honestly mine is the annoying substitute of Og for God. I understand the premise of it, you don’t believe in God so you don’t want to invoke his name, but to me it’s just a way of saying “Look at me! I don’t believe in conventional beliefs! I’m so much better than you!” It doesn’t bug me enough for me to really bitch about it (right now nonwithstanding) but it IS the most annoying meme to me. ---

I thought Og came from a funny typo (in the pre-editing days)? No? ---

How about zombie jokes? I don’t mind them and I’ve made those jokes myself sometimes, but they seem to annoy many. ---

> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > I thought Og came from a funny typo (in the pre-editing days)? No? Yes. Someone accidentally wrote Son og God, and it took off. Of course, Og was already being used in other places online, before that happened. ---

You know, when they’re driven into the ground. It just sucks the life out of them. But I hear they’re making a comeback ---
