Hither, thither and yon

Everywhere; Here, there and everywhere

From hither (“here, in this place”), thither (“there, in that place”) and yon (“over there, in a distant place”)

The title of a 1961 song by Brook Benton.
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

I Did Not Hit Her

1. It’s not true, it’s bullshit, I did not hit her, I did not.

{Oh hi Mark}
Friend 1 (has not seen The Room): I can’t believe they’re saying this about me, I did not hit her!

Friend 2 (has seen The Room): it’s not true, it’s bullshit, you did not hit her, you did not *limply throws water bottle*

Friend 1: Huhh??

Friend 3 (named Marcus) shows up randomly

Friend 1: Oh, hi Mark.

All my base are belong to you

A particularly endearing Millennial love confession. It should be noted that if said to a non-millennial, there is a very high probability that it will come off as extremely confusing and likely result in your sanity (and grasp of the English language) being questioned.
John: "Sarah, all my base are belong to you."

Sarah: "Oh John, I love you too!"

Bewildered bystander: "Huh?"

Knowing bystander: "It's a Millennial thing."

mugGet the All my base are belong to you mug.
A phrase that ought to be on this site so as to preserve it in perpetuity as a culturally and aesthetically significant remark.

As expected, the phrase announces that the speaker intends to both kick bubblegum and chew ass, only to express regret that he is all out of ass to chew. Cue furious bubblegum kicking.
You think you’re the shit, huh, pal? You think you got what it takes? Well let me tell you this: I’m here to kick bubblegum and chew ass…and I’m all outta ass.

Fore Eyes

Calque of Spanish “anteojos” (“glasses”) which is a compound of ante (in front of, before), and ojos (eyes)

Often misheard as “four eyes
That kid over there has fore eyes.”

Thou

(Verb)

To address someone by the second person pronoun “thou”. Back when this term was first used, it would often have been said in contempt as Thou was seen as an informal and potentially rude form of address. However nowadays, since Thou is considered by many to be more formal and respectful than the ordinary sounding “you”, it can have the exact opposite meaning and be taken as a great honor.
Historical usage: “Do not thou me, peasant, else I shall give thee a taste of this steel blade!”

Modern usage: “Did you just thou me? Oh my goodness…I’m so flattered!”

"Yes" joke

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

Person 2: Yes
