The phrase 'We was robbed!'—sometimes written as 'We wuz robbed'—originated in the boxing world in 1932 when manager Joe Jacobs famously shouted it after his fighter, Max Schmeling, lost a controversial decision. Since then, the expression has become the universal anthem for fans who feel cheated by officials, judges, or plain bad luck. In meme culture, it is used as a high-energy reaction to anything perceived as a total injustice, from professional sports games and reality TV eliminations to personal minor inconveniences. The meme thrives on the feeling of righteous indignation and is a staple of social media discourse during major competitive events.
