== Etymology == The term copypasta is derived from the computer interface term "copy and paste", the act of selecting a piece of text and copying it elsewhere. Usage of the word can be traced to an anonymous 4chan thread from 2006. Merriam-Webster recorded it as appearing on Usenet and Urban Dictionary for the first time that year.
