The word Gorl is just misspelled and more a funny way of saying “girl” in Gru’s character accent from the movie Despicable Me by Illumination Entertainment.

Some people around the internet are saying that the Gorl memes are the best meme material to ever come out of a movie, especially the minion universe, you know, the yellow-looking creatures in Despicable Me, these minions look like bananas in the movie and they are cute. Following in the footsteps of these first few Gorl Memes, the Internet began taking the Gru and Gorl meme to another level and associating the Gru face and the word Gorl to anything that has the word girl in it and making memes.
