The "What in Tarnation" meme features a photo of a dog, often a Shiba Inu or another breed, wearing a cowboy hat, accompanied by the caption "What in Tarnation?" This meme humorously plays on Southern American expressions, as "tarnation" is an antiquated term often associated with surprise or bewilderment, akin to saying "What on Earth?" The image coupled with the caption evokes a sense of comical confusion or astonishment, typically over something unexpected or bizarre. Popular on the internet, the meme taps into the charm of anthropomorphized pets and the quirky use of old-fashioned phrases, making it endearing and shareable.
