For example, when someone shares an image that has been edited to make it look like a news story is about an animal being captured by an imp, or when someone posts a meme that features a photoshopped image of a person with an artificial voice saying the word "imp," the user is lampooning online memes that use "imp" as a synonym for "mad."
However, the word "imp" is also used in earnest, both as a common noun and as a loanword in several languages.
