The 'Put Those Grippers Away' and 'Them Dogs Are Barking' memes are viral slang terms used to humorously criticize bare feet, especially in inappropriate or public settings. The trend exploded on TikTok and Twitter, where users would point out 'grippers' (toes) and claim they were 'barking' (being loud or noticeable). It represents a shift in internet humor toward hyper-specific, absurd anatomical slang. The meme template is primarily used to roast friends, react to barefoot sightings, or mock the 'feet for free' internet culture. It remains a staple of Gen Z humor for its combination of cringe and comedy.
