The terms 'Yap' and 'Yapping' transitioned from general slang to a dominant internet meme culture in late 2023. Used to describe someone who talks excessively or about nothing in particular, the meme often features images of people or characters looking exhausted while listening, or exaggerated images of someone talking. It birthed popular phrases like 'Certified Yapper,' 'Yap-a-thon,' and 'The Yapper of Seville.' The meme is widely used on TikTok and Twitter to playfully mock friends who send long voice notes or to poke fun at one's own inability to stop talking.
