LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-gigachad.wav

From giga- + Chad (“a very attractive man”). Although isolated uses exist earlier, the term was popularized by an anonymous poster on the 4chan /pol/ board on October 17th, 2017, who referred to Russian model Ernest Khalimov as "Gigachad". See Gigachad for more.

I heard Robert just donated $500 to Team Trees. What an absolute gigachad!

I have a lot of respect to Tarik for being a gigachad.

2022 March 27, Olivia Richman, “Doublelift calls Tarik "gigachad" for condemning JasonR's sexist behavior”, in Inven Global, archived from the original on 2024-02-05:

As per his IGN interview, LMSH took 242 tries to beat Malenia on his own. After this, he just decided that no other player has to suffer the same fate he did. What an absolute GigaChad.

2022 April 18, RJ Pierce, “Legendary 'Elden Ring' Player 'Let Me Solo Her' Is Now Immortalized In A Mod”, in Tech Times, archived from the original on 2023-03-25:

His meteoric rise from ironic gigachad to actual gigachad is a huge story in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but he just one-upped his own reputation. In an RMR match against Ecstatic, HooXi scored an insane HLTV rating of 2.21.

2022 October 5, Kenneth Williams, “HooXi just outfragged the rest of G2 against Ecstatic”, in WIN.gg, archived from the original on 2023-09-25:

(by extension, Internet slang, sometimes sarcastic) An extremely admirable man; a Chad among Chads.

sir, this is an Arby's

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-sir, this is an Arby's.wav

From a humorous Internet meme that envisions a character giving a strange, rambling monologue, with the punchline being a fast-food employee reminding them that they are in a restaurant. This format of joke is first attested in a November 2011 tweet by American screenwriter Ethan Hunter (@ethanhunter).

Setting aside the fact that Trump inviting a group of lawmakers to the White House to discuss trade policy only to launch into an out-of-nowhere rant about one of his enemies being fat is the definition of the phrase “ma’am, this is an Arby’s,” Trump’s hatred for Nadler goes way back.

2019 April 9, Bess Levin, “Trump's Radical Anti-Impeachment: Fat Jokes”, in Vanity Fair:

When you’re doing your job as a journalistic commentator in its highest form, you’re drawing new parallels, expanding the Overton Window, opening people’s minds and also ensuring them they aren’t alone in their frustrations with the status quo. When done at its most hacky, however, you’re ranting at people, making leaps and assumptions that gloss over reality, casting yourself as omniscient genius, and generally just pulling real “Sir, this is an Arby’s” shit.

2021 October 13, Blair Stenvick, “If I Ever Run for Governor, Please Don't Vote for Me”, in Portland Mercury:

I wonder if you’re familiar with the “Sir, this is an Arby’s” meme. Let me illustrate it for you:
Person A [with aggressive aggravation]: Can you believe it? The other day, I heard someone refer to the book of Genesis. Surely you KNOW that Genesis is not just “a book,” but the first part of the Pentateuch, and the Pentateuch is a five-fold book, not five books. Do you know what the first word is in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy? It’s and. BOOM. What did Jesus call the Torah? “The book of Moses.” Not the books of Moses.
Person B [laconically]: Sir, this is an Arby's.

2020 September, Alex Duke, “'Sir, This Is a Local Church'— Or, How an Absurdist Meme about a Roast Beef Shop Might Help Heal Our Church”, in 9Marks Journal, page 142:

(Internet slang) Used to indicate that one finds a statement to be bizarre, tangential, or inappropriate for the context in which it is made.

 "I got the whole alphabet right, even the hard part where you have to say LMNOP! The doctors were really impressed!"
 "Sir, this is a Wendy's"

2020 July 24, jthr...@gmail.com, “Re: LOL!”, in alt.guitar.amps (Usenet):

Sir, this is a Wendy's. (Full disclosure: this isn't a Wendy's. This is a sex-advice column, JACKS, and sex-advice columnists are not matchmakers. So you'll have to find and/or hire a phone-sex provider on your own.)

2022, Dan Savage, "When an asexual says 'no', she means no", The Georgia Straight, 17 February 2022 - 24 February 2022, page 17

“You must be in so much pain to keep posting bikini pictures at your age,” a follower commented on longtime supermodel Paulina Porizkova’s Instagram this week. “I pray you can come to terms with your mortality.”
This comment has big “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” energy, or at least, “Sir, if seeing a woman’s exposed flesh compels you to bring up her death, the internet might not be the healthiest place for you right now” vibes. But Porizkova, who is 57 and known for having a good sense of humor, responded with another bikini pic, adding, “As you can see, I’m suffering indeed.”

2022 May 2, Jenny Singer, “Women Are Calling Themselves ‘Old and Ugly’ on Twitter—And It’s Actually Super Heartwarming”, in Glamour:

(Internet slang) Alternative form of sir, this is an Arby's.


gamecraft

It is true that now and again, but very seldom, what I should call honest gamecraft like “bowling with the head” may be pursued dangerously near to downright cheating.

1936, The National Review - Volume 107, page 776:

Most of his work involves gamecraft – dealing with through balls, distribution and organising the defence.

2014, Alex Welsh, The Soccer Goalkeeping Handbook 3rd Edition, page 117:

Nineteenth-century children showed no such ability to cross gamecraft barriers.

1959, Brian Sutton-Smith, The Games of New Zealand Children, page 164:

regular competitive games against better teams of higher quality (so long as the gulf in quality is not too big) sharpens sides, teaches them how to organise themselves, gives them gamecraft.

2013 March, Jonathan Wilson, “Eat Them Like Bread”, in The Blizzard - The Football Quarterly, volume 8, page 115:

The captain merely smiled and said, “It is a bit of gamecraft, Doctor. This Bancroft is our man, and has been for some time.”

2016, Michael J. Martinez, The Daedalus Incident Revised:

Skill in the strategy and tactics of playing a game or games, as opposed to the physical skills of strength, dexterity, accuracy, etc.

Using Gadamer's game terminology, the kind of artistry that Sayers describes is a form of gamecraft, wherein the artist is able to draw us into the “play” of the poem, film, novel, or play.

2012, Philip Tallon, The Poetics of Evil: Toward an Aesthetic Theodicy, page 60:

Most virtual-world gamecraft portrays underground rivers as static features to be negotiated, much the same as magic mountains or pits to doom.

2021, Richard J. Heggen, Underground Rivers, page 395:

Artistry in the organization and elements used to design a game or storyline.

While the woodcock and wilson's snipe are fated to disappear as civilization robs them of their restricted feeding-grounds, Bob White, if protected by the enforcement of judicious game laws, will thrive in the midst of cultivated lands, and will continue to test the gamecraft and marksmanship of future generations.

1883, Alfred Marshall Mayer, Sport with Gun and Rod in American Woods and Waters, page 669:

[…] men and women of fine physique, considerable intelligence and with a wonderful skill in gamecraft and all that pertains to obtaining the essentials of their existence — food and water.

1930, Sir Ewen MacLean, A B.M.A. Odyssey, page 40:

“Here are those trappers, lady, well trained and stout of heart, In woodcraft wise, in gamecraft wise, their lives at my behest.”

2013, Caroline A. F. Rhys Davids, Stories of the Buddha: Being Selections from the Jataka, page 171:

Skill and knowledge about hunting and managing game.

There are three primary means of establishing dominance: the facedown, the gamecraft and the duel.

1994, Mark Rein-Hagen, Robert Hatch, Bill Bridges, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, page 36:

In gamecraft, the Garou compete in a contest of skill or wits: a riddle contest, a chess match or the like. Gamecraft is usually considered a valid means of establishing dominance when facing mental conundrums.

Do you think these scars I wear are badges of gamecraft?

2001, Gherbod Fleming, Werewolf, page 266:

(fantasy) A type of dominance competition practiced by werewolves that focuses on cleverness, wit, and cunning.

Karen haircut

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Karen haircut.wav

From the use of Karen, beginning in the late 2010s, as a pejorative for an entitled middle-aged white woman. The association of a specific hairstyle with this type of woman began with a meme in 2014 pairing a photo of a white woman with an asymmetrical blond bob with the text "The 'Can I Speak To A Manager' Haircut".

There was no misinformation from middle-aged women on Facebook with Karen haircuts.

2020 April 27, Vic Bell, “A Nation In Paralysis”, in Salient, Victoria University of Wellington, page 14:

A woman with a Karen haircut pointed at a hall in the back […]

2020, Matthew Archbold, American Antigone (published 16 September 2020), page 117

(slang, derogatory) A hairstyle associated with entitled middle-aged white women, typically a layered, asymmetrical bob with blond highlights.

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-can I speak to the manager haircut.wav

From a meme in 2014 pairing a photo of a white woman with an asymmetrical blond bob with the text "The 'Can I Speak To A Manager' Haircut".

But after a banshee of a woman with a 'can I speak to your manager' haircut howled at us (apparently this was "singing", though we're still yet to confirm it) for an hour we decided it was best to seek the comforts of the motel, its panoramic views of the roundabout and reruns of Midsomer Murders.

2016, Lachlan Sharp, "Lake Placid", The Reef (Beaumaris Yacht Club), Volume 7, Issue 2, Summer/Autumn 2016, page 16

groyper

Unclear overall. First attested in c. 2015. A common hypothesis seems to be a blend of goy ("Gentile") + groper ("sexual assaulter"), probably in reference to the illustration's (later) associations with the political group. Other conjectures include an alteration of groper alone, as well as being based on names apparently befitting an amphibian, such as Frogger, the root *groyp- being onomatopoeia for a toad's croak (compare Italian gracidare (“to croak”), Bulgarian кря́кам (krjákam, “croak, etc.”)). Or possibly a nonsense term; multiple elements may be combined here. The first attestations (almost always accompanied with a distinct Pepe the Frog illustration, on 4chan) predate associations with Nick Fuentes, so it is unclear if the first is a case of folk etymology.

But memecoins are simply online jokes converted into digital money, worth only what people are willing to pay for them. The most famous memecoin is Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency linked to a meme of a talking Shiba Inu puppy.

Memecoins are seen as a gauge of retail interest and risk appetite in crypto. When memecoin activity ramps up, it usually indicates that retail investors are participating and have an appetite to speculate further out on the risk curve.

2024 November 12, Tanaya Macheel, “Dogecoin spikes after Trump announces a Department of Government Efficiency — DOGE”, in CNBC:

Flipping tables (or (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ for net natives) is a classic among online emoji, and happens to be one of our favorites.

2014 June 3, Kwame Opam, “Watch this supercut of every table flip in movie history”, in The Verge:

2014 September 22, "Soos and the Real Girl", season 2, episode 5 of Gravity Falls
Cashier: And there's a note on it that says destroy at all costs.
Note on the video game box: DESTROY AT ALL COSTS!! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

The name alone could be anything from valid values ("hotdog" or "pretzel") to invalid values ("samosa", "kimchi", or "poutine") to absurd ("12345", "", or "(╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻").

Proto-Balto-Slavic *wájas
Proto-Slavic *vojь
Proto-Balto-Slavic *-āˀkas
Proto-Slavic *-akъ
Proto-Slavic *vojakъ
Polish wojakbor.
English Wojak
From the Internet meme Wojak, a cartoon drawing of a bald man with a wistful or melancholic expression. The original image was posted on vichan, a Polish imageboard, in 2009, and was later reposted to the German imageboard krautchan in 2010 by a Polish user called "wojak"; the username is from Polish wojak (“soldier; fighter”).

etymon

From the original manifestation of a wistful look to the meme of two Wojaks hugging with the tag “I know that feel bro,” he has taken on contexts in male-dominated internet spaces that signify a brotherhood of sorts.

2020, Soham Gadre, “Inside the Male-Dominated Meme Hijacked by Lib-Bashing Trumpsters”, in Daily Beast:

Owing to their coarsely drawn, unyielding masculine outlines, Wojaks are especially compatible with efforts to channel aggression.

2021, Jeffrey Demsky, Nazi and Holocaust Representations in Anglo-American Popular Culture, 1945–2020, page 112:

These figures, which regularly appear as characters in other meme formats, make variants of Doomer (male, female, boy, etc.) one of the most prevalent meme tropes of the early 2020s, with both a vertical reach (as straight copies of the original Doomer format) and a horizontal one (as variants in form, gender, and age, and, since late 2020, race – with Black Wojaks going viral).

2021, Mike Watson, The Memeing of Mark Fisher: How the Frankfurt School Foresaw Capitalist Realism and What To Do About It, page 50:

(Internet slang) An online image of a crudely-drawn person, often with a melancholic expression, with an art style based upon the original Wojak.

2020 November 17, Dianne Rothleder, Fraught Decisions in Plato and Shakespeare, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, →ISBN, page 43:

A situation in which at least two people vie for the love of another individual.
