The Best Memes On Speaking Moistly

It has been a week since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dropped the “speaking moistly” bomb on live TV, and Canada is still in hiccups about it. Thousands of Canadians have taken to social media to talk about the awkward moment.

The Prime Minister of #Canada has just warned us against 'speaking moistly' on others.

I heard it with mah own two ears.
And I'm pretty sure that is gonna break the internet today

Wash your hands. Stay home. Don't be racist
Above all – avoid #SpeakingMoistly#Covid19

While almost everyone is talking about PM Trudeau, many are divided on whether the winceworthy line was a much-needed comic relief in these stressful days of COVID-19, or just a bad move on his part.

Canadians took to Twitter and Instagram to post hilarious (and relatable) memes and jokes about the moment. Here are some that we thought would be most fitting for #TurnItBackTuesday.

Some users shared their thanks to the Prime Minister on lifting their spirits with a dose of laughter, and claim that the faux pas was just what the doctor prescribed to dissolve the doldrums caused by self-isolation and quarantine.

Say what you will about Justin Trudeau, but no one can really argue with the fact that the whole #speakingmoistly thing has been an unexpected gift of much needed comic relief…

I felt so bad for him when he said this and even he recognized the gaffe. We’ve all said things while public speaking that came out wrong. I hate public speaking and I can’t imagine doing it not in my mother tongue. Either way he gave us all a laugh and fodder for some memes. This one cracked me up. #nopolitics #nonpartisan #wereallcanadian #priorities #socialdistancing #speakingmoistly
