The internet has a new viral meme, all thanks to gay porn.
The term "right in front of my salad" began trending on Twitter over the last few days, and quickly became a meme with which to express shock and audacity — after it was seen in a porn video.
Twitter users quickly caught on, making GIFs and screencaps of the moment a couple begins have sex by a kitchen counter in front of a woman who is just trying to eat her salad, and who then asks, "right in front of my salad?"
We won't be so bold as to link to an NSFW video here, but you get the gist.

According to a contribution to Know Your Meme, the meme first began to circulate on Tumblr in the form of GIFs and video clips, and spread to Twitter shortly after. It is used, KYM says, "in various situations where one is indignant." It has also been used in reference to people being disrespectful to Rihanna, which is how you know it has hit viral meme-dom.
Only time will tell if "right in front of my salad" will have long term lasting power, but for now at least, you have a new means of expressing your shock.
