doge
Shiba Inu meme captioned in broken Comic Sans inner monologue: 'much wow, very meme, so slang.'
Definitions
The Shiba Inu meme itself, plus the whole speech style it spawned, two-word fragments stacked together (much, very, so, such, wow) to caption a reaction or a situation. Reading it in your head with the slightly stunned dog voice is the whole appeal.
The ticker and nickname for Dogecoin, the joke cryptocurrency launched in 2013 that ran on the meme and ended up a multi-billion-dollar asset thanks largely to Elon Musk tweets.
doge In A Sentence
Origin & Usage
Built on a 2010 photo of Kabosu, a rescue Shiba Inu in Japan, posted by her owner Atsuko Sato. By 2013, Tumblr and Reddit had stamped it with multicolored Comic Sans phrases like 'such wow' and 'very doge,' and it became one of the defining memes of the decade. It later inspired Dogecoin (DOGE).
