I See What You Did There. About “I See What You Did There”, sometimes shortened as ICWYDT or ISWYDT, is a phrase typically found online either in comments or captions for image macros. Depending on its tone, it can convey a condescending response to a banal joke, a genuine admiration for another person’s wit or a threat akin to “I know what you did.” Origin The expression had been used in pop culture previous to the internet, first seen in a March 1996 episode of the television comedy Friends titled “The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies.” In the scene, Joey (played by Matt LeBlanc) is explaining to Phoebe (played by Lisa Kudrow) how he writes his own lines on the television show he works on. He tells her that he took the original line “If we don’t get this woman to a hospital, she’s going to die” and changed it to “If this woman doesn’t get to a hospital, she’s not gonna live.”
