    Do I need to? People and likewise the internet aren’t defined by a dictionary. This image doesn’t even have the necessary visual to be considered a meme. It is just text inside a image. You don’t even need the screenshot

      People and likewise the internet aren’t defined by a dictionary.

      But the meaning of words is described by a dictionary.

      you don’t need to but you should. and if you’re not going to use a word with the correct meaning, it’s better to not use it at all.
