The phrase "Which Could Mean Nothing" became popular online to subtly imply romantic or sexual relationships between people, even when the context might be innocent. It originated from a 2021 Lainey Gossip article about Matt Damon visiting Ben Affleck without wearing his wedding ring, suggesting more than just friendship.
The catchphrase started spreading in February 2021 after a Tumblr post highlighted the article's title. The post gained significant traction, leading to its meme status.
Over the years, the meme expanded across platforms like Twitter, Tumblr, and TikTok, often used humorously to imply hidden relationships or intentions in various contexts.
