The 'AR-15 Stands For' meme stems from the frequent public and political debate regarding firearm terminology, specifically the common misconception that 'AR' stands for 'Assault Rifle' rather than its true origin, the ArmaLite Rifle. Internet users began parodying these factual errors by creating image macros that propose increasingly ridiculous and humorous alternatives for the acronym. From 'Assault Ravioli' to 'Always Ready' or 'Action Robot,' the meme highlights the absurdity of linguistic confusion in cultural discourse. It is widely used in both political satire and niche hobbyist circles to mock misinformation or simply provide a template for creative wordplay.
