The '>Implying' meme, often accompanied by the phrase 'Implying Implications,' originated on 4chan's imageboards as a way to highlight a user's illogical or biased assumptions. It typically utilizes the 'greater-than' symbol used in greentext to quote someone else's argument and then sarcastically mock its inherent flaws. Often paired with images of smug characters like George Costanza from Seinfeld or various anime faces, it serves as a cornerstone of internet irony. Over time, it evolved from a simple rebuttal into a meta-joke, where users 'imply' things about the act of implying itself, cementing its place in the digital lexicon as a tool for debunking poor logic with high-tier snark.
