The 'Delete This Nephew' meme features a screenshot of a Facebook comment where an older man expressed his utter disapproval of a relative's post. Originating around 2017, the image of an elderly man staring at his smartphone with a look of intense disgust became the universal symbol for reacting to 'cringe' or inappropriate content online. It is typically used as a reaction image to signal that a post is so embarrassing or bizarre that it should be removed immediately from the internet. The meme perfectly captures the generational gap and the feeling of secondhand embarrassment when witnessing a social media faux pas.
