Wendy's

Wendy’s and its variations are constantly being referenced in Reddit’s most famous investment community, /r/wallstreetbets. It alludes to the majority of its registered users being minimum wage workers who only have very little capital to work with.

The restaurant chain has become a symbol of the subreddit and its online presence often winks at WSB’s users.

“Sir this is a Wendy’s”

An expression used as a comical response and a quick reality check. It is frequently seen on DD posts (due diligence) which go into too much detail.

When a user replies to another with “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”, the implication is that whoever posted needs to remember where and to whom he is posting.

“Doing X behind Wendy’s”

As is customary in /r/wallstreetbets, this is also a self-depreciating expression.

It is mostly seen paired with a screenshot of a massive loss and alludes to the need urgent to make quick cash.

When a user blows up his account or someone wants to make fun of another user’s loss, this expression or a variation of some sort can be easily found.

Wendy’s share price surges amidst WSB’s endorsement

When users all over /r/wallstreetbets endorsed Wendy’s ($WEN) by calling it the “perfect stock”, its price rose around 25%, making the restaurant chain achieve the “meme stock” status, a list which include Gamestop ($GME), AMC Entertainment ($AMC) and several others high volatile, heavily shorted companies.
