The Vein Forehead Guy meme, originally titled 'Trying to Hold a Fart Next to a Cute Girl in Class,' features a high school student named Michael McGee with extremely bulging forehead veins and a bright red, strained facial expression. The photo was first uploaded to Reddit in 2014 and instantly became a viral sensation. It is primarily used to represent situations of extreme internal pressure, the struggle to remain silent, or the feeling of being on the verge of a massive outburst. Over a decade later, it remains the internet's go-to image for depicting intense physical or emotional effort.
