In 2012, it was McKayla Maroney’s unimpressed faced that became the meme of the Olympics. This year, it’s #PhelpsFace. What is #PhelpsFace?
#PhelpsFace (noun) When someone you don't like comes dancing around and you look at them crazy. #Rio2016

#PhelpsFace surfaced for the first time minutes before Michael Phelps’ 200-meter butterfly semifinal Monday night. The 19-time gold medalist did not seem pleased with South African rival Chad le Clois bounced in front of him.
The Internet, however, was very pleased.
