The trend of ‘look between your keyboard’

It started with a seemingly innocent request: ‘look between T and O on your keyboard.’ This clever wordplay revealed a character’s name from an anime series called K-On!, which sparked many more memes using similar phrasing. 

Eventually, this became so popular that individuals began making their own versions based on other concepts.

Never one to miss out on the fun, Delhi Police decided they would join in, too, with a road safety message. They used the meme’s format in their tweet but changed it slightly to warn against texting while driving.

The post reads, “If you look at your keyboard while driving, the thing between Q and R will meet you with a challan.” 

This funny yet serious statement quickly gained popularity among netizens who could relate to such situations happening around them every day.
