This clip originates from the viral YouTube channel 'Bad Lip Reading' in their 2012 video titled 'EYE OF THE SPARROW — A Bad Lip Reading of The Republican Debate'. The scene features Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a dubbed parody of a real televised debate. In the clip, the dubbed Romney smugly asks, 'Can you define valedictory? I'll wait,' while staring intently at the moderator. This specific snippet took on a life of its own as a reaction meme used to mock people who use unnecessarily large words or to represent the feeling of being intellectually challenged during an argument. It captures a perfect blend of condescension and absurdity that resonates with internet culture's love for satirical politics. Common uses include scenarios where someone is caught pretending to be smarter than they are or when a teacher asks a question no one can answer. Example captions: 'When the quiet kid finally speaks and uses a word nobody knows,' 'Me trying to act sophisticated after watching one documentary,' and 'My brain during the SAT vocab section.'
