9 Memes About Speaking Moistly That Will Make You Laugh & Cringe
He may never live this down. Canadians have been getting a lot of comfort from the Prime Minister's daily briefings until he recently decided to use the phrase, "speaking moistly." The poor choice of words caught everyone off guard, including himself, and has led to both a hilarious and kind of uncomfortable response.
The phrase made its first appearance during Trudeau's April 7 address to Canadians.
In explaining how effective masks are at containing the virus, the Prime Minister said that they were more useful in protecting others from your germs.
"It prevents you from breathing or speaking moistly on them," he said, before expressing his instant regret, "What a terrible image."
As much as he tried to move on from the verbal misstep, there was no getting past it. "Speaking moistly" has now been embedded in the minds of people across the country, for better or worse.
The internet has already latched onto the phrase, taking it to new levels of strangeness and humour. One industrious individual even set the words to music.
Anyone who knows how these things work online, though, knows there is always more to come, and people have put themselves to work turning the phrase into a meme.
These are just some of the best examples of what people have done with Trudeau's new catchphrase.
