In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Facebook Official” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22577 of the collection, and the 75th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Facebook Official” meme mean?
Going Facebook official means crossing the line where you announce your couple to your whole circle online. The phrase captures the excitement and awkwardness of a new relationship: tagging each other, changing the status, waiting for the reactions. Over time it has taken on a nostalgic and sometimes ironic edge, since such announcements grew rarer, especially among people who prefer to keep their love life private and out of sight.
Where does the “Facebook Official” meme come from?
According to Know Your Meme, the term entered Urban Dictionary on December 11, 2005, when user ilovebronsoncornrows called it the ultimate definition of a college relationship. The test is simple: your profile shows “In a Relationship” with your partner's name. On August 19, 2008, Gawker published “No, She Won't Go 'Facebook Official' With You.” On April 2, 2009, the student paper North by Northwestern ran a piece on students going Facebook official. The phrase later inspired a song by Heart2Heart, uploaded to YouTube on October 5, 2011, and an Elite Daily sketch on September 10, 2014, framing the step as a mistake. BuzzFeed and Elite Daily also noted that fewer and fewer couples were doing it.
