viral phrase
Contagious catchy words
A viral phrase is an expression that spreads rapidly through a population, typically via social media, memes, or news coverage.
Like a virus replicating through hosts, the phrase gets repeated, shared, and adapted until it saturates public discourse: The viral phrase "OK boomer" swept through the internet in 2019.
Some viral phrases fade quickly; others enter the permanent vocabulary.
