Sosig is a surreal meme featuring a deliberately misspelled version of sausage paired with a distorted image of a dog. It first gained massive traction in 2016 through a Photoshopped image of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay holding a tiny, warped dachshund, accompanied by the caption 'sosig.' The humor stems from the 'layers of irony' and 'shitposting' culture, where simple, low-quality edits and phonetic misspellings create a sense of absurd comedy. It has since evolved into various forms, often featuring elongated animals or surreal food items, remaining a staple in the pantheon of weird internet humor.
