The new trend mocks the revelation that famous Notre Dame football player Manti Te’o’s girlfriend never existed. Rather, she was a hoax possibly created by—but definitely involving— the linebacker for reasons that are still unclear.

The meme sprouted Thursday on a Tumblr called #Teoing and has already garnered 60 posts. Here’s a look at some of the best ones.
