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

Get the Hither, thither and yon mug.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.

Get the I Did Not Hit Her mug.A defense strategy where one seeks to extricate oneself from a bad situation by claiming to be innocent by (a usually absurd) technicality. Named for former US president Bill Clinton, who popularized this strategy in the 1990s with his creative explanations for how he didn't actually smoke weed because he didn't "inhale", and most infamously, how he didn't technically lie when he said there is no sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because "it depends on what the definition of "is" is."
Person 1: I just read an article about how Senator Rob Johnson claimed he didn't technically commit a crime by being involved in a plot to replace legitimate Electoral College electors with fraudulent ones in the 2020 election, because he was only involved for "a couple seconds"...
Person 2: A Republican using the Bill Clinton Gambit? Oh the sweet irony.

Get the Bill Clinton Gambit mug.“They say it’s over, we’re down and out, no chance. And to that I say: Over? Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?!”

Get the Was it over when the Japanese invaded Poland?! mug.(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!”

Get the Thou mug.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
