Get the Nudiusquartianmug. Also: Johnny-come-early
The opposite of a Johnny-come-lately. A Johnny-come-quickly is someone who is very early to catch on to a trend or stand up to an established social convention, usually the the point where they will be mocked, ridiculed, and possibly even persecuted in their own lifetime. In the end, of course, they are often proven correct, as shown by the eventual acceptance and mainstreamization of their position by Johnnies-come-lately.
While Johnnies-come lately are socially adept enough to pick up on logical cues from the world around them and adapt with the times, Johnnies-come-quickly are guided less by such rational logic and more so by an overwhelming sense of conviction in the truth of their beliefs. A Johnny-come-quickly is by definition extremely courageous because they are taking a position that is extremely unpopular.
Some examples of Johnnies-come-quickly throughout history include the the first people to posit a heliocentric solar system, the first proponents of a round earth, the first people to question the authority of the Church and of religion in general, and the first to take progressive stances on the rights of women and LGBT people.

While he faced ridicule and failure in his own lifetime, Leonardo Da Vinci’s dreams of the seemingly impossible notion of flight were eventually borne out, thus ensuring his pioneering legacy as a true Johnny-come-quickly

So long had I sought a love sweet and true
Hither, thither and yon did I roam
Yet the love I desired was here all along
Just across the way from home
Hither, thither and yon did I roam
Yet the love I desired was here all along
Just across the way from home

Get the I Did Not Hit Hermug. Possibly the most incorrectly formulated joke found on the internet, especially in YouTube comments. Here is how it is usually phrased, let's say we're talking about a song with a lot of autotune. A commenter who's feeling clever might quip:
Producer 1: How much autotune should we put in this song?
Producer 2: Yes
This is INCORRECT, it is nonsensical and ungrammatical if you stop to think about it for two seconds. How much and how many are not yes / no questions, you can't answer "how much?" with "yes" unless you also specify two or more options. For example:
Q: How much autotune should we put in this song, a few touches or a robot-stroke inducing truckload?
A: Yes
Producer 1: How much autotune should we put in this song?
Producer 2: Yes

A: Yes
Person 1: Should we make a few grammatically incorrect "Yes" jokes or spam the entire internet with them?
Person 2: Yes
Person 2: Yes

Get the "Yes" jokemug. Originally meaning to date or court somebody with serious intent. Eventually its meaning expanded to include the actions that couples would partake in while dating in this manner. If you are making love to somebody, it means you truly love them and want to spend the rest of your life with them. Making love can be a small action, it can be giving your coat to your partner on a cold night, or giving them a sincere compliment when they’re feeling down. It can be hugging them from behind in the morning while they make coffee, or even something as innocuous as holding hands in a movie. In the 1950s, it might be common for a young teen to tell her friends about her date and say something along the lines of:
“We made love in the theatre last night!”
This would be understood to mean anything from hand holding to kissing to affectionate words.
The modern definition of making love (to have sexual intercourse) is a slang usage of the phrase that was likely popularized in the 1960s by the slogan “make love, not war”. However some vestiges of the original meaning still remain. People usually will not say they made love with somebody unless they felt a deeper connection with them, as there are a bevy of other terms which are used for casual encounters. In this way, making love still implies courtly romance, as was its original intent, and it is often reserved for serious relationships. Yet it can apply to all the scenarios outlined above as well. All are valid examples of making love.
