Similar to the straw man argument, a straw meme is a logical fallacy presented in image form. Typical use is to assign misrepresented, exaggerated or completely false characteristics to an opposing viewpoint and then attack these characteristics instead of the actual viewpoint.
Typically, straw memes are met with supporting arguments such as, "sooooooo truuu!!!" and, "i'm steelin this!"
Straw meme examples:
Oh, you think (example A) because (example B)? Tell me more about (unrelated example C)!!!
If you're ok with (example A) but don't like (unrelated example B), then you're a hypocrite!!! Share if you agree.
When you misrepresent a someone's statement as a ridiculous claim they never said so that you can more easily "defeat" them. A bad faith debate tactic that should be frowned upon.
Think of the strawman as a dummy you have crafted yourself so that you can knock it down and pretend like you've won.
Person 1: "This ice cream is delicious."
Person 2: "Yes, but if you ONLY ate ice cream, you'd get fat and your teeth would rot out. Therefore, you shouldn't be enjoying that ice cream knowing that it could be harming you!"
Person 1: "I never said I was ONLY going to eat ice cream. That's a straw man. Also, leave me alone and let me enjoy my ice cream in peace. You're annoying me."

Verb; straw jacking means to move your straw in an up and down or back and forth quick motion to extract the remainder of alcohol/juice from a beverage with ice.
Ugh, I've been straw jacking this Mojito for 10 minutes! I should just go to the bar and order another one!!!
A Mud Straw is a dildo covered in poop. The straw is a reference to a scarecrow and the mud is a reference to poop.
Damn it girl, I'm sick and tired of coming home from work and finding your mud straw in the kitchen sink every damn day.
