It’s utterly fascinating watching how memes evolve over time. Most of us know the cheesy pickup line, “Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?” Well, the question has morphed and taken on a whole different meaning. And now, “Did it hurt?” memes are trending online, especially on Twitter.
The essence of the meme is very simple. You write, “Did it hurt?” then you throw out the second half of the classic pick-up line and, instead you add a burn, roast, or a witty but hurtful fact that’s like rubbing salt into someone’s wound. Twitter users have gotten exceedingly good at the trend, so our team here at Bored Panda has collected some of the very best “Did it hurt?” memes that mix humor with harsh kernels of truth to share with you.
