About

“Kermit Drinking Tea” is a well-known online meme used to ironically remark on someone's dubious behavior or actions while pretending not to care. Often with a picture of Kermit the Frog sipping tea, the meme offers sharp criticism followed by a false dismissal suggesting the speaker is only watching, not judging—though obviously doing so.

Origin

Beginning in early 2014, particularly on Instagram, where people started posting Kermit the Frog captions alongside the hashtag #kermitmemes, the meme started to catch on. From the @kermitbelike account, the earliest known image macro with the phrase "that's none of my business" appeared on June 17, 2014. The post poked fun at particular social stereotypes, and the format fast became popular as a means of mocking hypocrisy or absurdity.

Meaning

Usually with a humorous or sharp tone, the word stresses ironic or hypocritical behavior. The speaker feigns neutrality and transforms the meme into a social critique and a passive-aggressive assault, concluding with "but that's none of my business." Social media saw widespread use following the tea-sipping Kermit, which came to represent this mock-indifference.
