Ever wonder where the Chuck Norris craze came from, or why people are
shouting MINUS 50 DKP at you during Onyxia? Surprisingly enough many
people have no idea where these memes got their start even though they
are used constantly in the World of Warcraft we play. This guide will
explore several of the most popular (and my personal favorite) World of
Warcraft memes to bring enlightenment to us all.

Chuck Norris, the
Onyxia wipe video, and Leeroy Jenkins are just some
examples of the phenomenon that is the internet meme. An internet meme
is any catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to
person using methods available through the Internet. World of Warcraft
provides not only the perfect environment for these memes to spread,
but also the perfect means to create new memes born out of the game.
