Where does the “#TeaLizard” meme come from?
The macro image appeared on Instagram on June 17, 2014, via @kermitbelike, but its precise video source remains unknown. The term #TeaLizard was coined on June 21, 2016, when Good Morning America (ABC) used it erroneously in a tweet about NBA finals. ABC’s social media team likely borrowed the phrase from a Weird Twitter post attributed to @trillballins. The hashtag became a mocking nickname for the broadcast's blunder.
