A quote often misattributed to Marilyn Monroe has reached its next step to Memehood.

You may have seen a variation on the phrase "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" memed in one way or another. Well now the phrase has surpassed itself, no longer requiring mere words.

The new meme format seems to have started in the realm of K-POP.

But now it has spread far and wide.

Soon all words will be obsolete. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
