The 'Emosido Engañado' meme originated from a photograph of graffiti on a white wall in Alcalá de Guadaíra, Spain. The text is a phonetic misspelling of the Spanish phrase 'Hemos sido engañados,' which translates to 'We have been deceived.' The image first gained viral traction on Twitter around 2016 and quickly became a staple of internet culture. It is used globally as a reaction image to express feelings of betrayal, disappointment, or the realization that one has been pranked or scammed, often in situations where the deception is either ironically obvious or hilariously petty.
