    Ejaculation is supposed to refer to written statements, though. As in, Watson ejaculated over Sherlock Holmes. (He literally did, the word is used all over the books).

      It’s a whole different vibe when you imagine it’s Watson as played by Lucy Liu.

    After googling around for a bit, and then switching to duckduckgo instead (Google becomes aggressively unhelpful as soon as you have words like “ejaculated” in your query. Duckduckgo does the same thing, just not quite so much.), it seems the book in question might be “The tenant of Wildfell Hall” by Emily Brontë.

    By my analysis this meme required a set-up followed by a single complete line from a book.

    It’s also in the The Cask of Amontillado. Great word, ejaculate.
