I have to write a seminar paper, due by midnight today, that I have left to the very, very last minute. In part because this semester kicked my ass, in part due to straight-up laziness.
I am desperate to figure out how I can work this into a discussion of Moby Dick and American Pragmatism.
Other than calling the novel Mobby Deck, which I have done forever. posted by exlotuseater at 11:13 PM on May 10, 2011

I'm about 95% certain this was a 4chan meme making fun of developmentally disabled people/people with speech disabilities close to a year ago. Add a trollface and advertisements and it becomes something else... I guess? posted by polyhedron at 12:00 AM on May 11, 2011
Oh freddled humboggl, thy ponopls are to me

My best friend and I email each other daily, and over the years we've developed our own misspelled vocabulary based on our own typos, lolcats, Engrish, and general dorkery. There's something about deliberately mangled English that cracks me up. (For me, it doesn't have anything to do with the developmentally disabled. It's more related to the way little kids speak and write when they're still learning language skills.)
So whenever we write about cooking or lunch, we talk about beff, prok, friend shicky, krots, cramchiz, prange joox, slad, cumbungers, bototos, spinch, soop, etc., etc. So some of these read totally normal to me, others crack me up, and still others make me think "it's spelled bronkly, get it right." posted by Metroid Baby at 6:36 AM on May 11, 2011 [10 favorites]

If laughing loudly and repeatedly at something that may or not have begun its life as an offensive 4chan meme about developmentally disabled children makes me a bad person, then... well, actually I can't think of a way to finish this sentence. posted by A Thousand Baited Hooks at 6:42 AM on May 11, 2011 [1 favorite]

can someone help me out here with Shower Keen Nanungins??? posted by supermedusa at 8:26 AM on May 11, 2011
I can't say I actually know the history as I am not a 4chan denizen, but "fenga papit" is the image that made me associate this meme with mocking the disabled. You can google it, it's basically the same concept except with a sweet child playing with a finger puppet. posted by polyhedron at 8:29 AM on May 11, 2011
Shower Keen=Sour Cream
Nanungins=and onion[s]
This made me laug so hard I literally had to put my hand over my mouth and squeeze my face so my boss didn't find out.
For me, this has nothing to do with the disabled, I just love verbal irony, and this is really really close. My sister and I love to say "pah duh crunk" instead of "pop the trunk", etc. posted by shesaysgo at 8:50 AM on May 11, 2011 [1 favorite]
