ABOUT

"My precious" is a memorable quote from the 2002 highly acclaimed fantasy film The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers. It can be used in several ways. It would generally be used as a meme with either Gollum/Smeagol declaring something or someone his "precious". Or it can be simply someone else saying "my precious". Photoshop would often be a useful tool to accomplish hilarious memes.

ORIGIN

The Lord of the Rings

The phrase “My precious” originates from Peter Jackson’s 2002 film adaption of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers scene when Gollum/Smeagol makes his first OFFICIAL appearance to Frodo & Sam and becomes a central character. Here, before Gollum assaults them both as they're sleeping, he crawls down a rocky cliff. He is furious & cussing both hobbits for having stolen his "precious", The One Ring of Power that Frodo bears.

As a quote "My precious" is indeed very popular for all LOTR viewers. However, as a meme it isn't yet as popular. Although, as this meme entry displays, its existence isn't totally ignored by the world. I believe it has a lot of potential to reach the top next to POPULAR memes.
