About
I Forgor, usually followed by π, is a Skamtebord version of "I forgot." Spawned by a viral tweet in February 2021, the phrase is used as a humorous response and in shitposting. In June 2021, the words saw massive use on Instagram after a popular meme page posted memes containing the phrase. Phrase I Rember π, spawned by a viral meme, is used as a direct antonym to I Forgor π.
Origin
On February 5th, 2021, Twitter[1] user @ItsNotSeabass tagged Wallmart's Twitter account, writing, "Hey @Walmart I have a question." After the @walmarthelp Twitter account replied, "How can we be of assistance?", @ItsNotSeabass responded,[2] "I forgor π," likely mistyping "I forgot" due to R and T being next to each other on a standard QWERTY keyboard. The tweet (shown below) received over 750 retweets and 2,200 likes in five months.
