The Internet has no place for your grandmother’s commonsense communication aphorisms. That old standby “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all,” for instance, is laughably anachronistic online, where opinions need not be well thought out, facts don’t need to be checked, and rage needn’t be reined in. Considering this reality, it might be useful to coronate an expression that best represents the status of Internet discourse in 2014—a symbol of our times. “The Internet’s Most Internet Sentence,” if you will.

Attempting to identify, much less dissect, The Internet’s Most Internet Sentence is no piece of cake. For starters, there are the thousands and thousands of sentences found in highly professional, meticulously proofread online publications and websites. But then you also have all the poorly punctuated, grammatically askew ramblings of the blogosphere, and the millions of nearly unintelligible sentences that crop up on message boards. There are comments section diatribes and online product assessments, racist rants and restaurant reviews

At first blush, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to suggest that the extremely common online exhortation “Join the conversation!” best represents the aspirational-slash-somehow-kind-of-pitiful nature of Internet communications. It may also be worth considering the related, but more pushy and branded expression, “Like us on Facebook.” Other completely viable off-the-top-of-the-head candidates include the ubiquitous password-protected-page inquiry, “Forgot your password?” and the currently ascending appeal for online attention, “Ask me anything!”

But in order to most accurately assess these and other word combinations vying for the title of The Internet’s Most Internet Sentence, it’s imperative to consider the precise qualities that should be present in such a thing. To best represent the true essence of online communication, The Internet’s Most Internet Sentence really ought to include a not-insignificant measure of who-asked-you-type opinion, at least a pinch of questionable judgment, and some snark. Most importantly, The Internet’s Most Internet Sentence must also be annoying—really, really annoying—while at the same time making you kind of half smile every time you read it.

No sentence populating the contemporary online universe hits that mark with more precision than “Your an idiot!” It is The Internet’s Most Internet Sentence.
