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.

But this time, when she came to the conclusion, she hesitated a moment as a new idea struck her, and then in a most devout tone added: “Amen and a-women!” “Why, daughter, you must not say that! What did you say ‘a-women’ for?” asked her mother in surprise. “Well,” replied the young philosopher, “didn’t I pray for women as well as men?”

ఫసక్

From a 2018 interview where Telugu film actor Mohan Babu recalled a dialogue in Telugu where he acted as a villain ordering a hitman to kill his wife and translated it into English; he concluded the dialogue with "Don’t kill so many [sic; actually referring to the number of stabs] like this. Only once. Fasak!", with the last word being an ad-lib that was not present in the original dialogue (possibly being onomatopoeia for chopping or hacking a person). The interview subsequently went viral on the Internet and the word was popularized.

→ English: your mother is green, your mom is green

Literally "your mother is green". From a video where two boys fight and make up bizarre insults against each other. Although the hijau (literally “green”) in this phrase may have been nonsensical, there are various speculations regarding its definition, including an possible insult at the other boy's race or skin colour (the slur Keling can be heard immediately in the following, likely by indirect colour analogy of hitam) or "hijau" referring to virginity.

(Malaysia, slang, vulgar) An expression of contempt.

jessu għalik

Unknown. Aquilina rejects a derivation from Arabic يَا سَلام (yā salām). The required contraction of sliem into -ssu is indeed unlikely. However, Aquilina’s own connection with Arabic يَسَّ (yassa, “to journey”) seems even less plausible.
The phrase is reminiscent of dialectal Arabic الله عَلَيْك (allāh ʕalayk), which often has the same sense of “bravo!, well done!”. The word jessu would then be Christian Arabic يَسُوع (yasūʕ, “Jesus”). The unexpected gemination is not problematic in this exclamatory context. However, it is questionable whether يَسُوع (yasūʕ) was ever used in Malta. While there were Arabic-speaking missionaries, no Christian Arabic names are found. Moreover, the Islamic name form Għisa is attested (though it is not entirely clear whether the Maltese actually used it among themselves or knew it mainly through Muslim slaves).
