Overview
"Bitch Lasagna" is a catchphrase built from a 2017 Facebook Messenger screenshot in which a man from Bangalore, India demanded nude photos and signed off with the words "bitch lasagna" [3]. The phrase has no fixed meaning; Urban Dictionary contributors defined it loosely as what a woman becomes when she refuses to send explicit photos [2].
It reached far wider audiences when PewDiePie repurposed the phrase into a diss track against Indian music channel T-Series in October 2018 [1]. The song leaned directly into the "bobs and vegana" scam-DM tropes while taunting T-Series over the subscriber war between the two channels [1].
How It Spread
On October 18, 2017, an Urban Dictionary contributor called "Titty meat" published a definition treating "bitch lasagna" as an insult for women who refuse to send nudes, one of the few real attempts to pin down what the phrase actually meant [2].
The catchphrase went viral on October 5, 2018, when PewDiePie uploaded a music video titled "Bitch Lasagna" as part of his ongoing subscriber battle with Indian music channel T-Series [1]. The lyrics packed "bobs and vegana" callbacks and lines like "T-Series ain't nothing but a bitch lasagna," aiming the phrase at India's biggest YouTube channel [1]. Within two months the video pulled over 75 million views and more than 655,000 comments [3].
How to Use
The catchphrase is typically dropped as a nonsensical insult, often as a callback to PewDiePie's song or the original scam-DM screenshot. Common usage includes shouting "bitch lasagna" at rivals in the mold of the PewDiePie versus T-Series feud, or pairing it with the related "bobs and vegana" phrase in comments mocking spammy Facebook messages.
