Normally I don't try to sway the behavior of the online community, or question the more ludicrous aspects of said behavior. But where did the adjective noun is adjective jokes originate? Has the person responsible been prosecuted? And can we stop them yet?

In all seriousness, I just want to know where this joke came from.

Like most memes it probably came from /b. I see them everywhere (especially on the WoW forums).

edit: It supposedly came from Longcat is Loooong.

**Ahtman**

I think it started with "obvious troll is obvious" and just sort of spiraled out of control form there.

**purplefood**

Yeah this isn't just gonna stop.
This is further than just a meme, it's become part of the internet lexicon so unless it's replaced it will likely be around for a while... or whenever people get bored of it. Either one.

This is correct, yeah. It came from I Can Haz Cheeseburger first.

On a totally unrelated issue, htj, what does the tattoo on your avatar's arm say? I don't know if it's the picture size or just my computer, but I can't read it.

Je ne regrette rien.

As in the Edith Piaf song. Pom-pa-pom-pa-pom-pa-pom.

**Doomthumbs**

(I regret nothing) is the translation there.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Don't care where is started so long as it stops!

Tedious joke is t....

...erribly repetitive and dull.

ps When I went bird watching at the local wetlands bird sanctuary, I was hoping to see some little white herons. Sadly they had moved on.
Oh well, je n'egret rein.
