The 'Waiting for OP' meme is a cornerstone of internet forum culture, typically featuring a skeleton or a heavily aged figure to represent the passage of an eternity. It is used primarily on platforms like Reddit, 4chan, and Twitter to mock 'Original Posters' (OP) who promise updates, evidence, or conclusions to a story but never return to deliver. The phrase 'OP will surely deliver' is often used sarcastically alongside these images. Over the years, the template has evolved to include various imagery, from skeletons underwater to patient animals, but the sentiment remains the same: the hilariously tragic wait for closure that never comes.
