Meme: FAW (Frequently/Funny Attacking Wildebeest)
Originator: @RoryAlsop
Cultural Height: Early 2011
Background: Best explained by the originator, shortly after its inception:
FAW=FAQ. We just got chatting late on one evening after a basic spelling mistake, and it snowballed.
In other words, our fearless leafer made a silly typo, and we made fun of him mercilessly, and kinda ran with it. Just cuz, that's kinda what we do.
At some point, after interrogation, we were searching for a backronym, to explain the W in there. Thanks to our collective fixation with food, and specifically my particular kosher fetish and fascination with rare types of animal meat, we landed on Wildebeest. And the rest is really just a roryism.
Interesting aside: Wildebeest also continued on as a spam collection account
