The term 'subtweet'—a portmanteau of 'subliminal' and 'tweet'—originated in the early days of Twitter to describe the act of posting about someone without tagging their handle. While it began as a social behavior, it quickly evolved into a meme format used to mock passive-aggressive communication or to share relatable, indirect frustrations. Subtweet memes often replicate the visual style of a Twitter post, allowing users to vent their grievances or poke fun at common social situations. Whether it's about a bad coworker, a messy relationship, or niche community drama, the subtweet remains a staple of internet culture for those who want to say everything without actually saying a name.
