This meme depicts a young woman with a somewhat grotesque expression of excitement on her face appearing to take great delight in the books she’s holding. The fact that she has braces led Internet users to imagine that she would have a problem with her speech, and thus the “Ermahgerd“ (”Oh my God") meme was born.

The star of the meme is Maggie Goldenberger. This is an old photo — she’s now grown up and working as a nurse.
