What does the “Sandwich Echo” meme mean?
People use it to tease a repeated word or a sentence that starts echoing itself, often by tacking the last syllable on again.
Where does the “Sandwich Echo” meme come from?
The meme comes from an interview with nutritionist Ruth Lemos on TV Globo Nordeste, aired on 26 August 2004 on “Bom Dia PE”. Talking about children's eating habits, she says “sanduíche-iche” and “nutri-tri-tritivo-tivo”. According to Wikipedia, the delay of the audio return in her earpiece made her repeat words, and she had never worn one before. The video went viral in 2005 through email and Orkut communities and was shown on “Pânico na TV”. Lemos first disliked the attention, then ran for state deputy.
