The very first instance of a meme containing the caption "Big Chungus" was posted by Tumblr user gayreinhardt, now logarto, on November 19th, 2016, and contained an image of a Second Life life character bearing the nickname, as well as a second image showing a message from BigChungus reading, "gender is for smaller, lesser beings." (shown below, left). We cannot grasp the nature of Chungus' existence. We exist because Chungus allows it, and we will end because Chungus demands it.Ĭhungus transcends our very understanding. Before it, we are nothing.Ĭhungus imposes order on the chaos of organic life. Our lives are measured in years and decades. Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. We touch Chungus' mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding. We are but rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. Millions of years after our civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, Chungus will endure.Ĭhungus is eternal. The comment would later resurge as a copypasta in December 2018.Ĭhungus has no beginning. On August 8th, 2016, in a Reddit thread exploring the origin of Chungus, Redditor ASuitofT51PowerArmor posted his own description of Chungus based on Sovereign's speech from Mass Effect videogame. On December 26th, 2012, Urban Dictionary user Whidmark submitted an entry for "Chungus", defining it as a word "meaning anything and everything, including but not limited to a chunky anus". The exact date when the word was first used is currently unknown, but is estimated to be prior to December 2012. The word "chungus" was allegedly coined by English freelance video game journalist Jim Sterling, who would often use it in various meanings without a set definition. The post has since been deleted, with copies scraped by Me.me and Onsizzle. On July 27th, 2017, a captioned image of obese Bugs Bunny was posted by Eclectic Memes Facebook group.
