Inigo Montoya Meme Template
Inigo Montoya is a swordsman from the 1987 film The Princess Bride, known for the revenge declaration about the man who killed his father. The name also commonly labels the separate “you keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means” correction meme. Imgflip lists that correction format, but the exact linked Rotware still is only a close-up and does not confirm a particular scene or which established wording its uploader had in mind. Use the two bands for a concise theatrical correction or a recurring-problem/revenge exchange; treat exact scene provenance as unverified.

A close-up still of Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride, with one caption band above his face and a second along the bottom edge. No dialogue is baked into this specific catalog image.
How the joke works
Top: identify a specific misused word, false claim, repeated offense, or recurring annoyance. Bottom: deliver the formal, deadpan correction or melodramatic consequence in Inigo’s voice. The payoff should directly answer the setup and feel more theatrical than the everyday offense; do not force both the complete movie quote and a second joke into the limited space.
- Top setup: name the specific word/claim being misused or identify the recurring offense.
- Bottom retort: correct the misuse or announce an exaggerated consequence that directly follows the setup.
Caption examples
- You keep calling this release “temporary”
- I do not think that word means what you think it means
The bottom line directly corrects a repeated, specific misuse in the recognized pedantic format.
- You chose tea
- I prefer blue cars
The lines have no correction, repeated offense, or meaningful relation.
Situations it fits
- correcting a repeated misuse of a word or label
- calling out a misleading claim with dry formality
- treating a recurring bug or annoyance as a personal nemesis
- dramatically responding to a broken promise or repeated offense
When this format does not fit
- Do not assume the exact still shows either established quote scene; the catalog image is a portrait close-up.
- Do not use a random disagreement with no specific misuse or repeated offense.
- Do not make the two captions unrelated; the bottom must answer the top.
- Avoid cramming the full movie speech into both narrow caption bands.
