The top half is an image of Daniel Jackson wearing rectangle glasses and a green SG-1 uniform and sitting at his desk. He is wearing an intent expression and holding up his left hand with his thumb and forefinger touching and the other fingers bent down towards his palm. The bottom half is a screenshot of a tweet that says, "The fact that some people can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in ways I can't put into words." The tweet is by Gemma Amor, username @manylittlewords.

O'Neill: (acting innocent) "Isn't etymology that bug thing?"

Daniel: *starts having smoke come out of his ears*

… I had absolutely no clue. I’m aghast — I thought it was just a reference to the “rowdies in the cheap seats”, the modern version of Shakespeare’s groundlings.
