lolcat
Misspelling feline meme
A lolcat is an image of a cat with a humorous caption, typically written in intentionally broken English—misspellings, bad grammar, and baby talk: I can has cheezburger?
The format spread across the internet in the mid-2000s and spawned countless variations.
The captions themselves are sometimes called lolspeak.
