The 'Clever Girl' meme originates from the 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park, during a scene where the game warden Robert Muldoon is hunting a Velociraptor. Just as he thinks he has the dinosaur cornered, he realizes another raptor has flanked him from the side. His final words, spoken with a mix of fear and genuine respect, were 'Clever girl.' Since then, the phrase and Muldoon’s intense expression have become an internet staple for acknowledging when someone—or something—outsmarts you in a surprising or sophisticated way. It is commonly used to react to pets exhibiting human-like intelligence, clever marketing tricks, or unexpected plot twists in real-life situations.
