What does the “Yard Sard” meme mean?

Where does the “Yard Sard” meme come from?
The expression stems from a simple typo in "yard sale." The first known image dates back to April 26, 2008, on Flickr by user h. wren, later reposted on Reddit on June 18, 2008. On Tumblr, it appeared as a hashtag around mid-2011 via globalsoftpirka. On May 24, 2013, twerk4jesus posted a collection of nine images with this phrase on Reddit, some of which were later reused on Tumblr. The exact creator remains unknown. The connection to Steven Universe came later: Sardonyx first appears in the episode "Cry for Help," aired on July 13, 2015. From then on, fans used this hashtag for their fanart, turning an isolated mistake into a lasting community inside joke.
