cheezburger

Feline's coveted meal

Cheezburger is an intentional misspelling of cheeseburger, originating from internet meme culture—specifically the "I Can Has Cheezburger?" image of a cat captioning a photo with broken English.

The spelling represents a kind of cute, deliberately childish internet dialect.

I can has cheezburger?

The word evokes early 2000s meme humor and the broader phenomenon of "lolspeak."
