The 'Did You Mean?' meme is a visual parody of the spell-check and search suggestion feature popularized by Google. It functions as a form of digital sarcasm, where a user’s 'search query' is corrected to a more honest, cynical, or humorous alternative. Emerging in the early days of internet culture, it relies on a minimalist UI aesthetic to deliver punchy, observational humor. It is widely used to point out contradictions, reveal hidden truths, or simply mock common misconceptions by presenting the punchline as a helpful search suggestion.
