Originating in the early 2010s as a niche within online meme communities, the term blends “be” (to exist) with “fun” and the suffix “‑nies” to indicate a playful form. Befunnies typically consist of short text, images, or GIFs that encourage audience participation through remixing, tagging, or creating derivative works.
