While “texting” used to mean sending SMS messages, the term has been expanded to cover really most messaging services that many of us use on a daily basis. Fortunately, the word “texting” has pretty long legs and still does cover most of the things we might use it for. 

The “Funny Texts” Facebook page is dedicated to both the amusing messages that people have sent and relatable memes in general. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

That one hits me hard. Watched it happen to my Great Grandmother. I suspect it runs in the family so she won't be the last.

The core of a good meme, beyond humor or creativity, is that kernel of relatability. Richard Dawkins, who coined the phrase meme, envisioned it as a viral idea that spread from person to person much like a virus. However, what he didn’t expect was the fact that much of this information would center around humor and that the internet is an incredibly potent vector for “infection.” 

Part of the appeal is that the ideas carried by the meme either focus on a shared experience or emotion or work with familiar information and context. This comes from the high degree of intertextuality that memes possess. After all, we can generally understand the situations depicted in memes through our own life experiences, other memes, or just general knowledge of the world.

At a certain point, memes have become self-referential. If you have ever had to explain a meme to an older relative or someone “less online,” you will know that internet lore is deep. Some memes require a person to understand multiple other references, just to understand the context needed to enjoy certain memes.

It's always fun to get each other up to date about all the chaos that has happened in our lives in between chats

Every evening I fall asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes before I go upstairs to bed to fall asleep

It's not the money going out to inconsequentials, it's the fact that every generation since the boomers has been consistently underpaid.

My wife went into labor on Labor Day. She took it quite literally.

Was in Lidl the other day and a woman was wondering where the lettuce was. I pointed and said "Iceburg deåd ahead" I couldn't resist myself. We both laughed so all was good 👍

My mother also. Used to pick her up every Saturday for breakfast and shopping. Pulled in the driveway one beautiful summer day and she opened the door, holding her phone, saying "Oh...nevermind. She's here now." When she got in the car I asked who she was talking to and she said "The police." I asked WHY??? and she said because I was late and I was never late so she thought something happened. I replied that I had TOLD her I'd be late because I had a dentist appointment. She said "Ohhhh....that's right! Where do you want to go to eat?".

Omg I feel this. My parents performed only the required parenting duties which did not include extra curriculars, displays of love, compassion, encouragement etc. and I love them but my adult life has been very difficult to navigate.

Females sounds like you're refering to dogs or an animal - i always found it degrading - why cant we be refered to as women or ladies or young women? We are human not animals

The worst part is that single women will say they have a boyfriend because a large percentage of men have more respect for a fictional man they've never laid eyes on than they do for the actual woman standing right in front of them.

"Females" *should* say this any time they encounter guys who call them "females", whether they have a boyfriend or not.

"Female" isn't an inherently negative term. It's the character of the speaker and the context (including inflection) that can make it so.

I'll bet my current life savings (~12€) that these very same people complain about infidelity a lot.

the "females" should be an immediate enough red flag that all girls claim they have a boyfriend when he asks

When I hear it in conversation I always associate it with Ferengi in Star Trek. It pretty much always has possessive and demeaning contextual implications.

"'s'cuse me ma'am, do you have a boyfriend?" I just walked away, got in my car and left. The disturbing part was that I wasn't sure about it at that time.

🙄🙄🙄🙄 "females". Sort of like "aliens"? "Cattle"? - Is it any wonder the girls say that... (the answer is No)

Just say "no". Some will wait around until boyfriend is no longer in your picture.

I tell my daughter this but she’s too busy hoping her bf is something he’s not so it goes in one ear and out the other. I hope she realizes before she puts ten years in waiting for change.

I'm at the wealth level where I have a panic attack and suck it up and get back to work in ten minutes. Yeah that happened today. Panic attacks suck.

I don't know. I asked my sister in law, "Don't you hate it when he just gives you a really hard noogie from out of nowhere?" and she was like, "Huh?" Apparently, he's a lot nicer to her.
