Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we've got examples of being "locked in," an admittedly pretty funny video of Trump and couples who aren't polyamorous.
3. Locked in
The Meme
"Locked in," a wonderful phrase (which is comparable to the flow state), was used recently in a quote prompt by X user Jalen, who simply asked for examples and definitions. From the world of music, literature and sports, and including responses from fans and jokesters alike, everyone got off a cheeky quote in the process.

2. Trump's thumbs-up
The Meme
Donald Trump does many deeply unpleasant things, but occasionally his odd gestures and facial expressions do make for a halfway decent meme. This time, his strange pointing and thumbs-up combo has lit up X with some very creative scenarios.

1. Not polyamorous
The Meme
Last week, X user @F—K6R posted: "Oh no we're not polyamorous. My girlfriend just really likes cheating on me."
Within a matter of days, people were quote-tweeting the gag with movie and TV characters whose relationships the quote could, unfortunately, apply to.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's last week's edition of "The Week's Best Memes,", featuring memes about Kendrick Lamar at the Superbowl, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes's questionable fashion choices, Trump's weird debate moments and reactions to some less than wholesome news about Dave Grohl.
