While “texting” used to mean sending SMS messages, the term has been expanded to cover really most messaging services that many of us use on a daily basis. Fortunately, the word “texting” has pretty long legs and still does cover most of the things we might use it for. 

The “Funny Texts” Facebook page is dedicated to both the amusing messages that people have sent and relatable memes in general. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

That one hits me hard. Watched it happen to my Great Grandmother. I suspect it runs in the family so she won't be the last.

The core of a good meme, beyond humor or creativity, is that kernel of relatability. Richard Dawkins, who coined the phrase meme, envisioned it as a viral idea that spread from person to person much like a virus. However, what he didn’t expect was the fact that much of this information would center around humor and that the internet is an incredibly potent vector for “infection.” 

Part of the appeal is that the ideas carried by the meme either focus on a shared experience or emotion or work with familiar information and context. This comes from the high degree of intertextuality that memes possess. After all, we can generally understand the situations depicted in memes through our own life experiences, other memes, or just general knowledge of the world.

At a certain point, memes have become self-referential. If you have ever had to explain a meme to an older relative or someone “less online,” you will know that internet lore is deep. Some memes require a person to understand multiple other references, just to understand the context needed to enjoy certain memes.

It's not the money going out to inconsequentials, it's the fact that every generation since the boomers has been consistently underpaid.

My mother also. Used to pick her up every Saturday for breakfast and shopping. Pulled in the driveway one beautiful summer day and she opened the door, holding her phone, saying "Oh...nevermind. She's here now." When she got in the car I asked who she was talking to and she said "The police." I asked WHY??? and she said because I was late and I was never late so she thought something happened. I replied that I had TOLD her I'd be late because I had a dentist appointment. She said "Ohhhh....that's right! Where do you want to go to eat?".

Omg I feel this. My parents performed only the required parenting duties which did not include extra curriculars, displays of love, compassion, encouragement etc. and I love them but my adult life has been very difficult to navigate.

Females sounds like you're refering to dogs or an animal - i always found it degrading - why cant we be refered to as women or ladies or young women? We are human not animals

The worst part is that single women will say they have a boyfriend because a large percentage of men have more respect for a fictional man they've never laid eyes on than they do for the actual woman standing right in front of them.

"Females" *should* say this any time they encounter guys who call them "females", whether they have a boyfriend or not.

"Female" isn't an inherently negative term. It's the character of the speaker and the context (including inflection) that can make it so.

"'s'cuse me ma'am, do you have a boyfriend?" I just walked away, got in my car and left. The disturbing part was that I wasn't sure about it at that time.

The problem is the „not“. Instead of saying „do not spend“ say „safe money“. Sometimes your brain just cannot process a „not“

Lies I do understand this because I didn't want to skip the theme songs and so I ran to the bathroom because why skip to the end of the show when you could be back when the new episode starts playing. And with call of duty I ran in between matches to go to the bathroom.

My husband and I were states away, me in the middle of the country and he was on the East Coast. He drove the 23 hours to visit. I would fly back and forth to see him. The only heartache about it was when we had to split without knowing when we'd see each other again. We will be married for 10 years this August.

Interesting thing is, I keep thinking why do people buy so much groceries and how much money they've spent and they annoy me, but I still watch them. Especially that one with the long nails and ring on every finger, with white sleves which go up to her fingers. Girl, when you're cleaning the fridge, roll up your sleves, you'll mess up your sweatshirt. >.<
