The 'If My Girl Drowning' meme is a satirical copypasta that forces a choice between a significant other and a personal hobby or obsession. It typically follows the structure: 'If my girl and [X] are both drowning and I can only save one, catch me at my girl's funeral with [X].' While the text originated as a dramatic expression of fandom on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, it quickly evolved into a self-deprecating joke about being overly dedicated to things like sports, video games, or niche hobbies. It represents the internet's love for hyperbolic irony and the 'priorities' trope, making it a staple for community-specific inside jokes.
