Aww, Perisic!

"Aww Perisic" meme originated from Tottenham Hotspur fans during the 2022-2023 English Premier League season, criticizing the lack of chemistry between Son Heung-min and Ivan Perisic. Some fans blamed Son's slump on Perisic, leading to the widespread use of the phrase "Aww, Perisic!" To mock this misplaced blame, other fans started shouting "Aww, Perisic!" even in irrelevant situations, turning it into a popular internet meme.

The meme first appeared on the Tottenham Hotspur minor gallery on DC Inside and later spread to overseas soccer galleries and various online communities. It is commonly used to ridicule or satirize the act of blindly shifting blame onto others, often taking the form "Aww, XXsich" to fit different scenarios.

Originally, the "Aww Perisic" meme was meant to mock fans who unfairly blamed Perisic for Son's struggles. Over time, it evolved into a way to satirize irresponsible blame-shifting, with people using "Aww, Perisic!" in completely unrelated situations. For example, when losing a game or encountering unexpected events in daily life, people humorously exclaim "Aww, XXsich," even if the cause is unrelated. This phrase has gradually integrated into internet meme culture and is no longer restricted to specific individuals or contexts, highlighting the absurdity of unwarranted blame.
