The "Homer Simpson's Back Fat" meme originates from a classic episode of The Simpsons. It features Homer trying to suck in his stomach for Marge, only for his back fat to comically bulge out, unnoticed by him but clearly visible to Marge. The meme is used to illustrate situations where an attempt to conceal or fix one problem inadvertently creates another, often more obvious or embarrassing, issue elsewhere. It highlights the futility of superficial solutions and is frequently deployed in humorous contexts to depict relatable struggles, awkward situations, or unintended consequences.
