Ralph Wiggum

The lovably dim-witted Simpsons character who has accidentally become internet culture's patron saint of unintentional wisdom and absurdist quotes. His verbal mishaps like "I'm in danger!" and "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" have transcended the show to become meme gold. Referencing him is shorthand for innocent stupidity that somehow circles back to being profound.

jnsp

An abbreviation of the French phrase 'je ne sais pas' (I don't know), adopted by texters too lazy to type full responses but fancy enough to use French. It's the digital shrug emoji in letter form. Bonus points for sounding vaguely sophisticated while admitting complete ignorance.
