Michael Phelps’s evil stare at the Rio Olympics has officially become a thing on social media.
That thing is now called #PhelpsFace.
Cameras caught the swimmer giving a menacing glare Monday night, as South Africa’s Chad le Clos shadowboxed in front of him before the 200-meter butterfly semifinal.

The image of Phelps’s terrifying game face went viral and has become the backdrop of memes illustrating everything from breakfast fails to grammatical errors.
Here are just a few:
