The 'Sneaky Golem in the Pocket' meme draws inspiration from the iconic character Gollum and his obsession with the 'One Ring.' It represents that feeling of being overly protective, secretive, or slightly unhinged about something small yet significant. Whether it’s hiding the last piece of chocolate, a secret hobby, or a specific piece of information, the meme perfectly captures the 'my precious' energy. It first gained traction in niche fantasy fandoms before evolving into a relatable everyday trope for anyone who has ever felt a little possessive or mischievous about their hidden treasures.
