Gigi Hadid's sister recently met up with Complex to talk about sneaker shopping.
You've heard of Bella Hadid, right? Sister of professional hot person Gigi Hadid?
Bella's a model in her own right, so naturally she's expected to be somewhat of a fashion authority. She recently met up with Complex to talk about sneaker shopping. It was a completely normal premise for a segment - model talks about what she looks for in a sneaker, maybe she makes some jokes, cut, and put it up on YouTube.
But viewers who watched the bit noticed that Bella was trying very, very hard to sound "street".

The one phrase that egregiously stood out from the others was "homeboy's gonna get it".

There's a method to meme madness, and tracking the progress of this one is a true journey with surprisingly meaningful commentary on what makes a potentially healthy relationship.

'homeboy's gonna like... get it' is the greatest meme of 2017
— Melanie Bracewell (@meladoodle) October 9, 2017But some people didn't forget the cringeworthy circumstances responsible for birthing such a meme.
