Deez Nuts: Meaning of the meme term explained

The meaning of the term Deez Nuts goes back to a song from 1992. For a long time, the term had faded into obscurity, until it made its way into youth language in the last few years.

Deez Nuts – what’s behind the meme term

After the term had more or less fallen into oblivion for a few decades, memes featuring Deez Nuts have resurfaced in recent years. Especially in social networks, Deez Nuts, whose meaning is quite simple, is often used by young people.

• The song “Deeez Nuuuts” by the American rapper Dr. Dre starts with a gag regarding the conversation between a woman and a man. And how could it be otherwise, the gag is all about the genders talking past each other.

• Many years later, in 2015, an Instagram user picked up the gag again. Since not only the joke itself, but also the user himself looked a bit curious, the video quickly made the rounds and the term Deez Nutzs was back on everyone’s lips.

• The meme term is popular when people want to cut short a conversation that is going strangely. It’s also not uncommon for someone to acknowledge disrespectful behaviour with a hearty Deez Nuts.
