Esq does not have regulated usage in the U.S. Anyone can put Esq behind their name without being prosecuted for practicing law without a license.
From now on, I will be known as Kafka Esq.
All the cool kids are doing it
But I thought that’s how a Bill becomes a Law(yer).
Just for fun I looked this up. From Wikipedia, it seems very few places have legal protection over the title of “esquire”. So if you’re not from one of those places, have fun with the title!
yeah and the association with lawyers seems to be a us thing. Im always conflicted with memes as they are gags so not expected to be factual but then I think its easy for folks to see one and make a connection of fact from it in their head. Is it responsible to correct a meme or is it just being a buzzkill?
I correct memes all the time. My friends love me…I can’t help it!!
We can laugh and learn at the same time!
Enjoy the meme, then go to the comments for some jokes and insight into a topic you wouldn’t otherwise research.
You can’t make me
That is most heinous…
Most bogus…
I thought Esquire was just something anyone could use? I thought it basically meant nothing at all.
I’m not from America though so maybe it’s an American thing.
Uh… I may have committed a little light fraud
But you’re still a real wombat, right?
And I’ve seen real combat, too 😜
It’s quite alright, after this go study and then come back in time and just put your law diploma somewhere. Let’s say we put it under the couch over there.
search under the couch
Ah, there it is!

MFs gatekeeping esquire now

Hi everyone, I’m raptir, esq.
Sue me.
If I sue you, you’ll be liable to sue yourself for illegal representation. Therefore, you’ll either win and pay damages, or lose and pay damages, meaning you’ve just found out an infinite money glitch IRL. I’ll see you in court.
Next you’re going to tell me Handsome Major Angus MacZongo Esquire lied to me too??
I’ve never been represented by Bill directly, but I was a client of Bill S. Preston, Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan. Should I be concerned?
Only if they represented you in the case of Chuck Norris and his Cowboy Ass vs. The Crotch of Indiana Jones.
