The origin of the 'Right in front of my salad' meme is glorious and very NSFW

Are you serious? Right in front of my salad?!

Warning: This article contains some very NSFW content. And by that we mean porn. OK, proceed.

You might have noticed a new, veggie-based meme going around Twitter or Tumblr, but you might not know of its sexy origins.

The meme is an annoyed woman saying, "Right in front of my salad?" It's really a great response to anything that you find troubling, upsetting, or downright irritating.

No, this upset woman just trying to eat her healthy lunch is not from a Whole Foods commercial. "Right in front of my salad?" is from an adult film called Private Lesson Part 3.

The NSFW cinematic masterpiece features one scene with a woman enjoying her afternoon leafy greens who becomes aware that the two men in front of her are having sex. And thus the iconic line was born.

Again, this is very Not Safe For Work.

Give this girl the Oscar already!

Once people realized where the meme came from, they were understandably shook.

And then people began creating variations on the theme to create the ultimate response to all the shitty things in the world.

One of the stars of the film, Jake Porter, told BuzzFeed that the line that's brought us all together was actually improvised.

Further proof that this unknown actress deserves all the accolades.
