The "English or Spanish" meme originated on TikTok and became widely popular in 2024. It was initiated by TikToker Alfonso Pinpon, known for his humorous pranks. The premise involves Alfonso approaching strangers, asking if they speak English or Spanish, and then following their response with the unexpected challenge, "Whoever moves first is gay." This leads to participants freezing in place, creating comedic and awkward standoffs. The trend evolved, with people preemptively freezing upon hearing the phrase and others humorously subverting it with bold reactions.
While the meme entertained many, it sparked conversations about its potential homophobic undertones. Nonetheless, its absurdity has cemented its place in meme culture.
