Sarah With No H
Where it came from
From Jimmy Fallon’s "Ew!" song with will.i.am, which dropped on The Tonight Show in October 2014. Fallon’s character introduces herself with "Hello, my name is Sara — that’s Sarah with no H," and the perfectly pointless name correction took on a life of its own.
The line is so confidently dumb it loops back around to genius. "Sarah with no H" — ma'am, that's just Sara. You've described Sara. But she says it with the full conviction of someone who's had to correct people her entire life, which is exactly why it works.
It became shorthand for anyone over-explaining the spelling of their extremely normal name, and for that very specific energy of a teenage girl who is technically saying words but communicating pure attitude. People remix the format constantly — "that's [name] with no [letter that was never there]" — and a kid-friendly cover swapping in "Suzie with a Z" caught a second wind on TikTok around 2021.
The whole "Ew!" bit is Fallon and a guest in wigs being grossed out by everything, but this one line is the part that escaped containment. It's outlived most of what was trending in 2014, which for a throwaway name joke is genuinely impressive.
