The 'Never Ask a Woman Her Age' meme is a satirical subversion of traditional social etiquette. The template typically presents a list of three things one should never ask: a woman her age, a man his salary, and a third, increasingly specific or controversial question that serves as the punchline. This format became a viral sensation on platforms like Reddit and Twitter as a way to mock the dark pasts of corporations, historical figures, or internet personalities. By framing a scandalous fact as a social faux pas, the meme creates a humorous contrast between polite society and uncomfortable truths.
