The 'Breath In Boi' meme, also known as 'Inhaling SpongeBob,' features a distorted image of SpongeBob SquarePants taking a massive, exaggerated breath. Usually paired with the 'boi' hand gesture—a staple of 'roasting' culture on the internet—the meme signifies a person preparing themselves to deliver a lengthy explanation, a savage comeback, or an exasperated response. It gained massive traction on platforms like Twitter and Reddit in 2016 as a visual shorthand for the internal monologue that occurs right before someone loses their patience or prepares to drop a truth bomb.
