Whomst is an ironic, intentionally incorrect variation of the word 'whom,' used to convey a mock sense of intellectual superiority. It first gained traction on Instagram and Tumblr in 2016 before evolving into the iconic 'Galaxy Brain' format, where it serves as a label for increasingly complex and nonsensical variations like 'whomst’d’ve.' The meme satirizes pedantry and the use of archaic language to appear smarter than one actually is. Today, it remains a staple of 'deep-fried' and surrealist humor, often paired with images of glowing brains or cosmic beings to signify a hilarious, over-the-top level of enlightenment.
