Ever hop on Twitter and wish you'd come up with one of those clever 280 character tidbits? Just us? Even if you haven't, you'll appreciate these entertaining nuggets of comedy gold. There are worse ways to waste your time.

Twitter's new favorite text meme involves calling out white people for the silly things they say in very specific situations. The meme is somewhat triggering to the Ned Flanders-esque white person writing this (nobody under 30 should sound this much like a Midwestern dad) but the tweets are pretty funny - and all in good fun.
For those of us who aren't professional comics, attaining perfect comedic timing and delivery is a moment to be relished and appreciated. Unfortunately for the Redditors taking part in this thread, their brilliance went woefully unnoticed. We're here to bring them the glory that they so deserve.
It's not often that clickbait does anything more than elicit eye-rolls or lamentation from most of us, but today we're happy to say this is not the case. We're here to thank The Daily Mirror for composing a tweet so incredibly clickbait-y that Twitter has turned the damn thing into a meme. To promote a piece about a Tinder love-connection gone wrong, the publication tweeted the following:
"Woman's perfect Tinder date with 'The One' shattered by five simple words."
It's a pretty histrionic title, especially when considering the five words: "Stay away from my boyfriend." Her supposed Prince Charming was not, in fact, an eligible bachelor. The spicy yet vague headline immediately put Twitter to work. Social media jokesters started to tweet five words that would leave them shook - and the rest is history. We'll keep our politics to ourselves, but Julia Carver's (now deleted) tweet is on point. This website could never love someone who doesn't get down with some Popeyes.
