This is volume one of the eRepublik edition of "Know Your Meme"

PERTAMAXXX
AMERIMAXXX
LOLWUTMAXX??one?

As with many nublets that are newish to the game, I was totally lost with some of the in-jokes and memes that fly around in articles, forums, and on IRC. And the first one I always saw was PERTAMAXXX!!!

So I dug around a bit, and I struck oil. Literally.

Pertamax is a high-octane fuel product of an Indonesian oil company called PT Pertamina. "Pertama" apparently also means "First!" in Bahasa Indonesian. Slam that together and it's a handy and portable phrase. And it also gets great mileage 😃

And like all great things, we Americans like to borrow and customize the best the world has to offer. I'm sure AMERIMAXX didn't take long to take hold. These days you can see just about anything with the -MAXXX suffix, and despite that it doesn't seem to be losing speed. This is quite a healthy meme at the moment.


Know a popular meme, phrase, or slogan I've not covered yet? SEND ME A MAIL about it, and try to be as detailed as you can. I'll write up the best ones in the coming weeks, and I'll be sure to credit any submissions.

VOTEMAXXX!!
SUBMAXXX!

And maybe the next article is a butt, pass it on :3
