This is the meme I choose that expresses the feelings of irritation when someone keeps asking you the question they should have already known about which in this case refers to the name of the sun god “Ra”

The photo used in this meme came from season 8 episode 10 of the shows Hell’s Kitchen Gordon Ramsey the hose and judge of the show is raging over one of the contestants for not being able to cook the bass right and with all the heat and pressure of the competition he then confronted the contestants who’re responsible for the raw bass and that’s when the phrase that was written in the meme was mentioned and later become one of the most iconic lines from Gordon Ramsey. Gordon Ramsey is known for his tough and intimidating behaviors in the show Hell’s Kitchen so a lot of memes have actually taken one of his lines from shows to make a funny meme because of its impact and recognizable of the phrases.

The replacement of the word from the original phrase from raw to Ra was referred to the sun god of Egypt. It was often said that he is the king of all gods and also the creator of everything. Ra was usually depicted as a man with a Hawkshead and the golden disk on top of his head. He was believed to travel through the sky from dawn to dusk by his boat. The sun god was responsible for life, light, and warmth. Apophis the great serpent Ra’s enemy will always try to kills Ra in orders to prevent the sunrise and that’s one of Ra's responsibility to protect people from the chaos Apophis might cause and that’s the reason Ra's played an important role in Ancient Egypt because the ancient Egyptian priest would participate in rituals to protect Ra and destroy Apophis.
