It's Always 2 Dumb Bitches Telling Each Other "Exactlyyyyy," also known as It Be 2 Dumbass Girls Telling Each Other "Exactlyyyy," is a catchphrase used to caption image macros of two figures replying "exactly" to each other. X user @pinkfr1day coined the earliest wording in March 2023, and by January 2024 posters were slapping the drawn-out version onto stuffed dolls, movie stills, and political photo ops.

Overview

The joke rests on two people, cartoon characters, animals, or inanimate objects posed as the titular "2 dumb bitches" nodding at each other with a trailing "exactlyyyyy." Posters stretch the final syllable to mock the way friends agree enthusiastically without thinking it through, though the self-deprecation runs both ways since many women posting the catchphrase openly identify as one of the two6.

Captioned subjects range from a real screenshot of Elon Musk replying "Exactly" to a J.K. Rowling tweet5 to fictional pairs like the leads of the 2023 film Bottoms8. Inanimate pairings also carry the format, including two stuffed dolls staged in agreement10.
