As far as I can tell, the Twitter hashtag #wordsthatleadtotrouble got started 
at about 11 a.m. Pacific Time on Sunday morning, when a user named Kookeyy 
posted this short message: "#wordsthatleadtotrouble 'Don't Worry I gotchu." A 
couple minutes later, Kookeyy posted another take on the same theme: 
"#wordsthatleadtotrouble - I Love Yuh *kiss teeth*." On Twitter, people append 
hashtags to categorize their messages—the tags make it easier to search for 
posts on a certain topic, and they can sometimes lead to worldwide 
call-and-response conversations in which people compete to outdo one another 
with ever more hilarious, bizarre, or profane posts. A woman in South Africa 
named Tigress_Lee moved the chatter in that direction: "#wordsthatleadtotrouble 
'the condom broke'!" she wrote. From there, the meme took off. "We need to talk 
#wordsthatleadtotrouble," declared BigJamaal (11,920 followers), and then he 
proceeded to post a blizzard of suggestions, including "#wordsthatleadtotrouble 
I dont know why you got that Magnum in your wallet you clearly live a Durex 
lifestyle."
