The 'El Wey' meme (Spanish for 'The Guy' or 'The Dude') is a staple of Latin American and Mexican internet culture, often used to refer to a specific character or a relatable person in a humorous situation. While 'wey' is a common slang term for 'friend' or 'guy,' the meme usually features a specific image or character representing 'that one guy' everyone knows. It gained widespread popularity on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where users label the figure to describe chaotic energy or questionable decisions. It is the quintessential template for highlighting the funny, predictable, or ridiculous behavior of friends and public figures alike.
