Definition: That stomach-churning moment when someone “exposes” a scandalous truth everyone already knew, like revealing rain is wet. It triggers mass eye-rolls instead of shock, flooding social media with sarcastic “no duh” reactions and memes.
Often deployed by hypocrites to feign moral outrage after ignoring the issue for years. The only surprise is their audacity to repackage ancient gossip as breaking news, making them look dumber than the scandal itself.
Example:
When the influencer dramatically “exposed” the celebrity couple’s decade-old breakup, social media erupted with sarcastic memes and tired “tell us something new” comments.
The politician’s sudden outrage over the long-known budget scandal triggered widespread derision, as everyone remembered his years of silence on the very issue.
