”Sauce?”

A word posted to request source material for a quote, statistic, news item, image, single comic panel or other such random items carrying no explanation of where they came from. Shorter to type than [Citation needed]. Substantiate those claims, people! You don’t want to be called out and end up at r/quityourbullshit. Having said that, being the first to comment with a reliable source when one isn’t provided can pay karma dividends[1] if you find yourself in the right post at the right time…

*Because there is a Subreddit for everything:**

Not everything on Reddit needs proof of origin. We have a selection of subreddits that glory in their lack of context, such as:

r/outofcontextcomics - The place to post comic book panels that are strange or funny if taken out of context.
r/nocontext - Classic lines from other Reddit posts.
r/nocontextpics - Where there are no sob stories - or stories of any kind.
r/outofcontextmemes - A subreddit for inside joke memes that are hilarious, but only in the given context.
r/OOCQ - A subreddit for quotes taken out of context, causing them to sound bizarre.
r/OutOfContextQuotes - currently banned for being unmoderated, this could be ripe for adoption…
r/outofcontextmanga - No context, out of context, funny, shocking, whatever (NSFW).
r/ProgrammingNoContext - A place to post programming documentation, code snippets, google searches etc that appear weird out of context.
r/outofcontextwikihow - A subreddit for finding pictures or even titles from wikiHow that need context.
r/WithoutContext: Funny things happen when you take things out of context…

However, even those posting in r/outofcontextcomics get asked for a source occasionally[2] so…
