About
Girls Who Say Bruh vs. Girls Who Say Hiiii, or simply Bruh Girls vs. Hiii Girls refer to a loose series of memes that compare two groups of women, one of which behaves in a less sophisticated manner than the other. Originating from a viral July 2018 meme in which the two groups were compared to the Disney princesses and to the princesses from Shrek the Third, the comparison format maintained notable popularity online in the following years.
Origin
On July 26th, 2018, Facebook[1] group OkChikas posted a two-panel Spanish meme in which two groups of women, one who speak "sweetly," and the other who use slurs and slang words. The groups were likened to the Disney princesses from Ralph Breaks the Internet and to Fiona, Doris and other princesses from Shrek (shown below). The post received over 17,000 reactions and 9,000 shares in two years.

In the following weeks, the image was actively circulated online with multiple reposts by Facebook meme communities. For example, on July 29th, 2018, Facebook[2] group Chochos reposted a cropped version of the meme, gaining over 2,600 reactions and 2,100 shares. An August 18th, 2018, repost by Facebook[3] group Corridos VIP received over 3,800 reactions and 4,800 shares.
Prior to August 25th, 2018, an unknown Facebook user posted a translated version of the meme (shown below). The earliest available repost was made by VK[4] group eternal classic on August 25th, 2018, with the post gaining over 1,900 likes in two years.

The popularity of the format subsided until on March 9th, 2019, Twitter[10] user @Whereisblockaye posted a video of a muscular woman dancing, writing "Girls who say "bruh, nigga, dawg, wassup." The post accumulated over 18,500 retweets, 99,900 likes and 2.6 million views in two months (shown below).
